Somehow I think that publishing an entire dump
violates the "do not
publish significant parts of an article" rule.
Surely the toolserver admins could be asked to consider waiving that
in this case considering the public nature of the dumps and the
downtime situation with download.wm.o

It's not that toolserver admins are excentric adding such rule, but an
issue of WM-DE liability if such information is published.
However, I think that providing such file to just a few selected people
would be acceptable.
I am also waiting to download the xml dumps from de.wp and en.wp since the servers are
down. If you provide them on a mirror or on an alternative server, I would appreciate if
you could give me access, too.
How likely do you think that the server is running again next week? According to
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Dataset1 it sounds like if the firmware problem was
solved, the server should be back again, right? In such case I would simply wait until the
official server is running again.
