Hi There, My name is Fred Benenson and I'm a graduate student (as well as free culture activist) doing research on Wikipedia. I'm working on a problem that requires an up to date version of the logging on wikipedia.
I was told to look here (after posting, unsuccessfully to JIRA) for help on a problem I've found with a dump:
Despite its name, enwiki-latest-logging (available at http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/latest/) is not actually the latest logging information.
I've found the most recent log_timestamp of a row is somewhere around February 2007. This means that the dump is about a year old, and is not the 'latest' version. It'd be great to get a fairly recent (within a month) version up live.
Let me know if there's anyway I can help or make this easier.
Thanks.
Fred
