These files were in the archive, but the pages were at some point deleted from
PmWikiDe/. Earlier this morning, I repackaged all translation files in
brand-new archives, so no old wiki pages should be there.

Done, today I deleted a huge number of phantom wikigroups (only
*.RecentChanges or very old test pages with no backlinks).

Currently, the script packages every page in the PmWiki* groups so these pages
are in the archives.
I don't yet speak German and most of the other 39 languages, so I couldn't
judge if a page should be included or excluded.
I can propose that the page DocumentationIndex serves as a wikitrail listing
all pages that should be in the doc download archive. If you want a link
included in the archive, but not displayed in the DocumentationIndex, use
(:if false:)
* [[Page]]
(:if:)
If you want to link to a page to be excluded, best might be to use the full
URL with [[(http://pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWikiDe/)SomePage]].
This way we can create a recipe which automatically packs the pages for the
documentation. See WikiTrails about the format.
Other idea could be to mark somehow the pages to be excluded. Other ideas are
welcome.

Please clean the WikiSandbox placing the default text, and I'll add it to the
list to be automatically restored every 15 min like PmWiki.WikiSandbox.

At the moment, I have to manually launch a script that packages all pages, but
it is easy, I can do it any time you ask me to.
We are considering creating a (public) recipe that could use ?action=zip to
send the current state of the documentation directly to the visitor, and/or a
password-protected ?action=publishzip to allow a Local Administrator to
update the German archive in the pmwiki.org/pub/i18n directory.
All these are just ideas floating around, please share yours if you have ideas
of improving this.
Thanks,
Petko
