This extension is experimental for the moment - Daniel K. Schneider 19:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC).
There are problems with server overload. If your book is large you likely will loose between a third and half of the pages. Therefore, only create smaller books.

Installation notes
(I will move this at some point - Daniel K. Schneider)
- The collection extension installs like any other Mediawiki extensions. Really easy with Mediawiki=> 1.14 (Spring 2009).
- You then can just leave all the defaults and the PDF will be generated by PediaPress.
