Not sure if this should go into http://code.pediapress.com/wiki/report too, but: Allow cross-wiki article collections with the Collection extension. People might want/need to have a mixture of Wikipedia, Wikisource, Wikibooks, Wiktionary and Wikiquote articles within one book! Having to make separat books for each project is not really nice. So, somehow allow this; maybe with a temporary import-alike feature?
This also applies for different languages (e.g. German+English), of course.

Added PediaPress support team to CC
The "back-end" (storage file format + rendering engines) already supports this feature. Currently the "only" problem is the the Extension:Collection (-> the UI) does not allow creating such collections. At the moment there is no plan to add this feature.
[Removing RESOLVED LATER as discussed in http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-November/064240.html . Reopening and setting priority to "Lowest". For future reference, please use either RESOLVED WONTFIX (for issues that will not be fixed), or simply set lowest priority. Thanks a lot!]
*** Bug 44184 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/44848 We'll still need upstream fixes, see mwlib/metabook.py -- none of the interwiki code seems to be wired in. Also, the permalink fields ("oldid", etc) are not available for external pages, they will have to be fetched along with the article source. Finally, the UI is an interesting challenge. File moar bugs!
