Nice work Erik!
I am still quite shocked at the amount of time the english wikipedia takes
to dump, especially since we seem to have close links to folks who work at
mysql. To me it seems that one of two things must be the case:
1. Wikipedia has outgrown mysql, in the sense that, while we can put data
in, we cannot get it all back out.
2. Despite aggressive hardware purchases over the years, the correct
hardware has still not been purchased.
I wonder which of these is the case. Presumably #2 ?
Cheers,
Brian

New wikistats reports have been published today, for
the first time since
May 2008. The reports have been generated on the new wikistats server
'Bayes', which is operational since a few weeks. The dump process itself
had
been restarted some weeks earlier, new dumps are now available for all 700+
wiki projects (with the English Wikipedia as the usual exception). From now
on the wikistats reports will be updated much more frequently. The actual
processing of any new dump starts soon after the dump becomes available,
results will be stored in intermediate files. Once a week updated reports
will be published.

Happy holidays everyone.
