Then we got problems with a large amount of unreadable (compressed) articles... And now you close down access even for dewiki toolserver users because of non-technical reasons? Please tell me, that I'm wrong!
The compression really isn't a problem, if the text access is ever restored I will help you write code to read the compressed data.. it is easy. Yes, you can't access it directly in the database, but you'd need to parse the content anyways.
For a geospatial projects on toolserver I'd expect that you'd run into bigger problems with things like the lack of useful indexing for spatial objects in Innodb tables.
(I had a postgresql install with the tiger data in my home directory, but I removed it after the loss of text access killed all my spatial wiki plans. :( )
