Greetings,
I am trying to replicate enwiki locally but I am always getting a CRC error
extracting the page history file
(enwiki-latest-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2<http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/enwiki-latest-pages-meta-histor…>).
Anybody was able to do so?
I am not sure if the error is at the source (when zipping it) or because of
the download manager at my end.

No, I didn't grant Coder rights, I just linked a svn and
wiki account. Not all committers are Coders on mw.org.
Should they be?

No, Chad already gave you coder rights. Any coder can make someone else a
coder.

Until yesterday, I thought that Wikipedia's static dumps were generated with the
maintenance/dumpHTML.{php,ini} scripts. But the page
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Alternative_parsers currently reads: "This has
been used (years ago) to create the static dumps at http://static.wikipedia.org".
So, what is the method currently used to generate the dumps? I need to dump a
wiki for offline use, and I'd like to be as compatible as possible.
(I'd also like to dump the math equations and other extensions I have installed,
so I thought staying as close as possible to mediawiki would be the way to go).

The only non-script solution that seems like it would work well is
<iframe seamless> from HTML5:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/embedded-content-0.html#attr-iframe-seamless
This solves the current problem that <iframe>s must have a
prespecified height, which is why we can't use them now. Of course,
<iframe> isn't necessarily terribly well supported in weird browsers,
but it would be better than JavaScript.
One possible way we might have more graceful fallback now is to have
some <noscript> content. One possibility would be an <iframe>
containing the content (which might be the wrong height, but oh well);
another would be to have a message pointing to the announcements. Of
course, it would be non-dismissible without JavaScript, so it would be
best to keep it less obtrusive if possible. So the message seems like
a better idea.
Document the dump process? You must be joking :)

Mwhaha .. that would be awesome if it was actually useful data. The
libs, binaries and configs have all been fixed. I've run a couple of
batch jobs for the small wikis [tokiponawiktionary, emlwiki] and am
running [afwiki] right now to try a bigger data set. No issues so far
past the main page not noticing them finishing.
After afwiki finishes up I'll remove the failed runs as they don't
provide us with any useful data. Will set the worker to begin processing
after that. Plus I'll actually document the setup.
