Brion,
If you need any help with the dumps, I am happy to provide whatever
assistance.

4) The last few days dumps are on hold as I'm fixing some longstanding
problems in the dump generator. New dumps will commence within a few days.
Brion, I know all that and have understanding. But unfortunatly the
download page reports now, 8 weeks after the latest successful dump for
dewiki:
No prior dumps of this database stored.
Dump in progress, 9 items failed
I can understand that dumps for WP mirrors have a low prioritity in the
project, but - forgive me - 8 weeks is still too long!
One or two dumps per month are o.k IMHO. A commercial offer for regulary
or live updates is o.k. to. We do have a client, a really important
german media, which is potentially willing to pay for such a service.
They are willing to pay or to support the WP project in another way. But
at the moment they are a bit irritated due to the erratic service for
mirrors.
Jochen
