Alas no :(
Personally i think the wiki method is a bit flawed because of the option to
use OffLine help or not. (not by default)
If you consider all the people possibly using (or trying) gambas without
offline mode then i would imagine the server load for auto-complete and
help could be quite large.

perhaps it could be re-designed a bit so a lot of the text could download
with the packages/source and reduce server traffic/flooding?
maybe use all the bigger files like images/apps/etc from the server but add
all the markdown files in the archive.

I should also imagine with the wiki down anyone who is not using offline
help (plus those without internet) has no help at present so that's another
reason the text files might be better as always local.

Just some food for thought
