If you _really really_ want to take this on, please consider just
creating a static HTML dump without the MediaWiki skin in a
subdirectory of dumps.wm.o (mebbe
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/static_html_dumps/ ), with robots.txt
rules to allow for indexing, rather than returning it to its previous
undead status.
