On this note, would it be possible to get a public pointer to the full skins, modifications, and so forth used in creating the latest static dumps (as at http://static.wikipedia.org)? Several projects I know of (including the OEPC project I'm working on) are looking for ways to create good static exports, and the November dumps come out looking excellent.
All the scripts used are public, they're at
Thanks!
This is my actual working directory for constructing the November dumps, I decided that I didn't need to shut it away. The main entry point is do4thread. All patches and modifications were committed to CVS.
The skin used is at skins/disabled/HTMLDump.php, you need to move it to skins/HTMLDump.php for it to work.
I cannot reach this - it comes up empty. Is it being interpreted instead?
I cannot even get the HTMLDump.php.broken file.

Not quite... I've done a dump, and the format comes out differently - not really appropriate for a static dump, since among other things, the Search button is present but fails.
The JavaScript referenced by this skin is in skins/htmldump/, including lookup.js for the "go" button. It's not really a search button, since I haven't gotten around to writing a fully-fledged search engine in JavaScript just yet. It doesn't handle misses particularly gracefully.
Thanks.
