 Yes, I could feed them a copy of the site.

 I think that the social work is done on the site. And that All they
 want is a reference site. So I don't want the users to transfer.
 Just the content. I think a tiddlywiki or an xml or pdf export	
 would be useful, but I am not finding the general solution.

 Yes, this is a vital question.

 % Depending on the number of nodes, you may just copy/paste content to the site.

 I expect that there are 3000 nodes or so. 



 % Otherwise, you need to export the nodes and then use the node_import

 It is the node export button/command/module that I am not finding....
