Hi, I'm a student planning on doing GSoC this year on mediawiki. Specifically, I'd like to work on data dumps.
I'm writing this to gauge what would be useful to the research community. Several ideas thrown about include: 1. JSON Dumps 2. Sqlite Dumps 3. Daily dumps of revisions in last 24 hours 4. Dumps optimized for very fast import into various external storage and smaller size (diffs) 5. JSON/CSV for Special:Import and Special:Export
Would any of these be useful? Or is there anything else that I'm missing, that you would consider much more useful?
Feedback would be invaluable :)
Thanks :)
