Hi John (and all),
Can you provide me with your GitHub username? I did a git-svn conversion to a repository there, and I can add you as a member to contribute the code.
The repo is at https://github.com/WikiTeam/WikiGrabber.
Its just a few revisions out of date, got to figure out a way to pull changes from the main repository to this unofficial clone. (Note that I can push directly to the main repository on Google Code)

If someone wants to contact me off list I will gladly re-write this clusterfuck I just need some help with the details, and a step-by step of exactly what/how you want the process of dumping a wiki done, Ive done it before quite a few times myself and getting you a functional bot shouldnt be that hard (I am both a python and API programmer :P )

It's completely broken: https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/detail?id=56 It will download only a fraction of the wiki, 500 pages at most per namespace.
Let me reiterate that
https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/detail?id=44
is a very urgent bug and we've seen no work on it in many months. We
need an
actual programmer with some knowledge of python to fix it and make the script work properly; I know there are several on this list (and
elsewhere),
please please help. The last time I, as a non-coder, tried to fix a bug,
I
made things worse (
https://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/issues/detail?id=26).
Only after API is implemented/fixed, I'll be able to re-archive the 4-5 thousands wikis we've recently archived on archive.org (https://archive.org/details/wikiteam) and possibly many more. Many of
those
dumps contain errors and/or are just partial because of the script's unreliability, and wikis die on a daily basis. (So, quoting emijrp,
there IS
a deadline.)
