We have a first cut at an offline archive of the ros.org wiki:
  http://www.ros.org/roswiki.tar.gz
  http://www.ros.org/doc.tar.gz
The first tarball contains the wiki, rendered into HTML by MoinMoin's
export tool.  Unpack it, then open `roswiki/index.html` in a web
browser.

The second tarball contains the auto-generated documentation pages (we
separated it because it's quite big). If you unpack that tarball
inside the `roswiki` directory, then links to autogenerated docs
(e.g., API documentation produced by Doxygen, message/service
documentation) should work.

There are still some rough edges (e.g., ending up in a directory where
you have to manually click on `index.html`).   Please have a look at
it and provide feedback.  Once we have an archiving step that we're
happy with, we'll start producing a new archive regularly.
