Hi,
Is there a way to get a list of all pages in a category so it is computer readable?
Thanks, Ittay
Usually: why the core-category-list should not be computer-readable?
But perhaps you are looking for something like the extension DPL2 (Dynamic Page List 2) or NCL (NiceCategoryList), http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:NiceCategoryList_extension

You want a raw list of all members in a category? That's simple enough - I would write a special page extension which basically disables the standard OutputPage and just echoes everything in plain text.
You could, of course, go for something fancier - e.g. XML. I have a strong suspicion that the BotQuery framework can handle this, as well as the MediaWiki API itself in newer versions of the software.

I have a pair of extensions that allow easy XML exportation of various MW data sets.
