This includes my wiki2xml converter [2], which can now take parameters via URL (as described on the page), allowing other scripts/bots to grab XML-converted Wikipedia pages directly, or users to get Wikipedia article(s) as ODT file, directly via a link.
I realize it's got a comment that it's slow, but I just requested (by title) the page Texas. It's been running about 5 minutes now with no response. Is it failing under load?
I've been running some of the scripts yesterday, and they were *way* more responsive. It seems the text access is slowing them down today. After all, not only the page text, but also the templates (and sub-templates and so on) have to be loaded.
Sadly, it does not seem to be possible to load text directly from the toolserver database for current or recent versions.
