I suggest you ...

Offer the ability to export

Allow users to export an article (at least to pdf), so they have the option to save them to disk.

        Being able to export one or a group of articles to a PDF format would be very useful. Would be nice to be able to select one, or a category, or just selected articles with a category or multiple categories - for example a series of articles that are similar in nature, but are spread across multiple categories. Having the ability to export to a docx format would also be useful.

        Yes - the ability to export either one or a range of articles to a single document would be remarkably useful. This would essentially allow users to build their own knowledge management documents that they could 'take away' and read off line. For me, as below, I would send such a document to my ereader, allowing KB to truly become a single repository of information for widespread use. Thanks!

        I would like to be able to export any articles / content to a pdf or doc format for my own use - rather than for readers. For example it would allow me to dump sections of the knowledgebase to doc or pdf and then convert them to mobipocket format for use on mobile ereaders such as the kindle.

        I would also think that setting this as a variable would be a good idea as well. Either based on account type/level, or a per-article setting.

        I wouldn't want to make it easy for someone to dump a large number of articles, so I vote for only one at a time.

        I would like to see PDF & .doc(x) files, but PDF is by far the top of my wish list.
