Now, to be even more useful, database dumps should be produced on *regular* intervals. That way, we can compare various measures such as article growth, link counts or usage of certain words, without having to introduce the exact dump time in the count.
On a related note: I noticed that the meta-info dumps like stub-meta-history.xml.gz etc appear to be generated from the full history dump - and thus fail if the full history dump fails, and get delayed if the full history dump gets delayed.
Is that something that changed? It used to be the other way around. pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 was generated from stub-meta-history.xml.gz
