About wiki-to-print

Wiki-to-print is a collective publishing environment based on MediaWiki software^[1], Paged Media CSS^[2] techniques and the JavaScript library Paged.js^[3], which renders a preview of the PDF in the browser. Using wiki-to-print allows us to work shoulder-to-shoulder as collaborative writers, editors, designers, developers, in a non-linear publishing workflow where design and content unfolds at the same time, allowing the one to shape the other.

Following the idea of "boilerplate code" which is written to be reused, we like to think of wiki-to-print as a boilerplate as well, instead of thinking of it as a product, platform or tool. The code that is running in the background is a version of previous wiki-printing instances, including:

Varia's^[4] version of wiki-to-print^[5] installed on the CC server^[6], which is maintained by Simon Browne^[7] and Manetta Berends^[8]
Hackers and Designers'^[9] version wiki2print^[10] that was produced for the book Making Matters^[11]
TITiPI's^[12] wiki-to-pdf environments^[13] by Martino Morandi
the book Volumetric Regimes^[14] by Possible Bodies^[15] and Manetta Berends
the work on the Diversions^[16] publications by Constant^[17] and OSP^[18]

So, wiki-to-print/wiki-to-pdf/wiki2print/wiki4print is not standalone, but part of a continuum of projects that see software as something to learn from, adapt, transform and change.
