First, add the HtmlUrls recipe. In local/config.php:
$EnablePathInfo = 1;
$FmtP['!\\$ScriptUrl/[^?#\'"\\s<>/]+/[^?#\'"\\s<>]+!'] = '$0.html';
$FmtPV['$PageUrl'] = 'PUE("$ScriptUrl/$group/$name.html")';
This causes all of your pages to automatically receive a '.html' extension.
Then, use a tool such as wget to download all of the pages for that
group and fix up the links. For example:
wget -r -k -np -p -l 0 http://example.org/wiki/SomeGroup
Here's the meaning of the options to wget:
-r Recursive retrieval. Wget will follow any links it finds in
the document
-k Link adjustment. After retrieving the pages, wget will convert
all of the downloaded files to have relative links instead
of absolute ones.
-np No parent. Wget will restrict itself to the path
given on the command line (in the above case, it would
only download the pages of SomeGroup).
-p Prerequisites. Wget will retrieve local copies of any .css
files or gif images needed to display the static copy of the
page locally.
-l 0 Infinite follow. Wget will follow all of the links it encounters
(subject to the -np restriction above), so that it will completely
spider the group.
I've only done a minimal test of this, but it seems to work pretty well.
