English -> English dump
Because myself and others have been frustrated by the lack of good stats on the number of active editors on the English Wikipedia, I have compiled some stats on the editing frequency on enwiki:
No worries: in only 176 days from now the English dump will be ready and I can run wikistats scripts on it. It just started 52 days ago, so let us be patient for a while ;)
Is there any reason at all to believe that it is more likely to finish this time than all the previous attempts during the last two years?
I have virtually zero faith in a script that takes 230 days and where any error wipes out all progress.

Hold on...what? There is no recent dump of the English Wikipedia, and there hasn't been for the last 2 years?
Please tell me I'm misunderstanding things here.

(cc'd to wikitech-l) I saw this the other day as well and found it odd. While enwiki dumps do take the longest, this does seem like an _incredibly_ long time for "All pages with complete page edit history (.bz2)" to finish (May 2009).
