Hi, I plan on creating an enwiki mirror that will need to be kept continually up to date. The plan is to download the data dump as a starting point, and to grab every revision from enwiki as it is being made and insert the revision into the mirror wiki's database. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Real-tim... more details.
Is there already a bot that can do something similar to this? I checked http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pywikipediabot/Scripts and its subpage and didn't see anything along those lines. Thanks, -Tisane
Mediawiki, at the moment, does not provide an easy way to replicate changes on another mirror. If you start to do so, you will likely have troubles with the sysadmins, as induced load will not be acceptable.
Tim Starling is probably the best person to ask suggestions to. I'd probably expect him to ask you to pay for some kind of real-time feeds, though...

River from the Toolserver administration can help you too, since they are doing the same.
