Going forward this means that the Mylyn project will be able to continue maintaining the user guide in the Eclipse wiki while also providing the same content from within the Eclipse. Furthermore, other Eclipse projects will be able to do the same by adopting the same approach.
Users wishing to see the user guide in Eclipse can do so by installing the Mylyn weekly build as described here. Eclipse committers that would like to have their wiki-based content available within Eclipse can do so by looking at the Mylyn project (org.eclipse.mylyn.help.ui/build-helper.xml) and by making use of the WikiText stand-alone package.

That sounds great and very interesting. I would love to hear some details about this project at the DemoCamp next week.
I attended EclipseCon 2009 and your talk on generating Eclipse help from eclipse wiki. I can't seem to find the documentation on how to do this. All examples, ant scripts and etc point to starting with files in a directory or workspace. How do you either download eclipse wiki to files so you can convert or better yet, point wikitext ant files to wiki URL to auto-download and convert.
@Don We use Ant to get the content from an URL. Take a look at org.eclipse.mylyn.help.ui/build-helper.xml line 51 and 52... this is where the download occurs. If you're not sure how to get the org.eclipse.mylyn.help.ui project sources, take a look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Mylyn/Contributor_Reference#Workspace
For future you may want to ask such questions on the Mylyn newsgroup. See http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/support/ for details on that.
