[Rails] Re: Rails 3 application capable of generating an offline version of itself for download as zip archi

Just throwing in an idea, assuming you would want to download these for
documentation/printing purposes :

Why not generate pdf's of all the entries on your website using a gem,
saving them to a specific folder, zip them up with another gem and then
force a download when entering a specific url/triggering a specific
action?

Here's some information to get your adventure started:

http://rubyzip.sourceforge.net/

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1544446/force-download-of-file-in-the-public-directory-from-a-controller-action

Good luck! If you have more questions, let me know.

Cheers,
Nick
