Dear Brion,
is it possible that we can have a MediaWiki instance which is being kept up-to-date by the regular synchronisation on the WM cluster, so we can import all types of dumps in there to make ZIM files from it?
We will use a modified version of wiki2html and a special skin for the dumps, so we need an extra instance but it should be always up-to-date with the Wikimedia projects. This would be extremely helpful for us.
Any ideas?
Greets,
Manuel

Filling in since Brion is out in meetings today.
I'm a little confused with what you are asking here.
Are you requesting a machine that is configured the same as any one of our web server nodes to serve wikipedia traffic and connects to our databases but is not part of our general cluster? Or are you asking for a blank node to populate with different types of data that you can in turn generate ZIM files from?
Let know and we can get something in place.
