missed connections: wiki edition

I'm looking for a wiki I came across once. It had a button labeled "download entire wiki." One could download the contents of the wiki as static html pages with relative links. It wasn't Wikipedia. Can you help me find it?

What was the Wiki about?

Response by poster: bonus round: is there a forum or email list where I should be asking this question?

Response by poster: I do not remember, except that it was the home page of the author of the wiki engine, so it was about itself I guess.

The Unreal Wiki has this.

Response by poster: Ok, here we go: the wikidump plugin creates a downloadable tarball. But I wouldn't have found this if I hadn't asked the question, so there you go.

Move along, nothing to see here.

Possibly Tiddlywiki?

The wikis at riters.com have a "Download this Wiki" link at the top of each wiki front page, and they download as WinZip files (if you're not into gzipped tarballs).

Are you asking about how to download wikis, or how to find this original wiki once again? Because if its the latter, this question reads like the man going into the bookstore and saying "Dammit! I need that book! The one that had the cover and the pages!"

if you're not into gzipped tarballs

Just checked, and they are .tar.gz files (but Firefox asks if I want to open them with WinZip). Sorry.

Oddmuse can do this using the Static Copy Extension.

Just looking for any wiki engine that creates static, downloadable copies. (and installs in a linux environment). Thanks for all the answers, one of these should meet my needs.

Instiki can export to HTML with a click. It also has a dead-simple installation on any platform:
1. Download
2. Run “ruby instiki” with Ruby 1.8.2 or greater.
3. Chuckle… There Is No Step Three™! :)

Tiddlywiki is indeed a self-contained single-page downloadable wikithing, as suggested by Frykitty. It's also pretty darn cool.
