The HTML static dumps are incredibly useful, since they are the easiest form
of Wikipedia to use offline - rendering the XML files is very difficult,
since there is not even a good Wikitext specification available. I have been
experimenting a lot with different ways of viewing content offline - hugely
useful in countries like Indonesia, where internet access is hard to come
by...
However, the static dumps have not been updated since December! It even says
on the page that the December dumps are still in progress - which they are
not! They are finished and all exist on the page (which I pointed out
several months ago).
So we _really_really_ need updated static HTML dumps of all the Wikipedias.
And I also really want stripped down HTML dumps of the English, that doesn't
include user pages and discussion pages.
I'd really like an update on this!

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
