There's been some questions recently about public backup dumps (or the lack thereof). I've been working for the last few days on getting the dump generation infrastructure up and running in a more consistent, effective fashion.
Should contributions to peripheral things like this be limited to PHP? If I had a Python contribution, would it be used?
Various supplementary things are in Python, C, C++, Java, and C#. And of course our TeX processor is in Objective CAML. ;)
Also, on PostgreSQL schema--- is this being worked, or would it be useful for me to work on it? I'm doing a project using WP data on a psql db.
Domas had ported MediaWiki 1.4 to PostgreSQL, minus some niceties like the installer. It hasn't been maintained however and the schema files are almost certainly not updated for 1.5.
If you'd like to help get this up to speed in CVS that would be cool; Kate has added some bits for supporting Oracle as well and there may or may not be a little more infrastructure now for supporting multiple backends with the installation and updaters.
