While the old wiki stored its data in files, the new one is 
MySQL-based.  Further, as with all wikis, the offline version 
needs to contain HTML markup, while the data stored on the 
server side contains wiki code... so there needs to be a program 
that generates the HTML out of the wiki code.

That program may be as simple as wget --mirror, but ideally you 
want something a little faster and nicer to the web server.  The 
"publish" program provided that for TWiki; whether the current 
wiki Benoit wrote has such a utility, I don't know, but we can 
always use the wget method once in a while in a pinch (and if I 
were to catch people doing that a lot during the day, I'd have 
to put IP bandwidth restrictions in place.)
