The reason these dumps are not rewritten more

job was handed to me (at my request) and I have not been able to get to
it, even though it is the first thing on my list for development work.
So, if there are going to be rants, they can be directed at me, not at
the whole team.
The work was started already by a volunteer. As I am the blocking
factor, someone else should probably take it on and get it done, though
it will make me sad. Brion discussed this with me about a week and a
half ago and I still wanted to keep it then but it doesn't make sense.
The in-office needs that I am also responsible for take virtually all of
my time. Perhaps they shouldn't, but that is how it has worked out.
So, I am very sorry for having needlessly held things up. (I also have
aa crawler that requests pages changed since the latest xml dump, so
that projects I am on can keep a current xml file; we've been running
that way for at least a year.)
Is the source for the new dump system on SVN somewhere?
