This is posted here for the foundation to consider rather than on Wikitech as these issues affect the credibility of the Foundation. Posts on these issues to Wikitech get ignored and/or are not responded to at all. I am writing this in response to requests to GFDL enable the wikigadugi.org sites.
I hope you understand dumps are not a requirement for the GFDL. Special:Export and indeed the XHTML pages themselves count as transparent copies.
This harms the reputation and credibility of the Foundation. It needs to be addressed and fixed.
No, it should be fixed, but it doesn't need to be. Wikimedia has no obligation to provide dumps, working or otherwise.
It would be much nicer if this stuff just worked.
That's true.
