Wouldn't it be nice if those PHP-scripts http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PHP_script is talking about became edittable via the normal, regular Wikipedia-interface itself!? (Writable by 'staff' only, of course, but at least readable to any visitor.)
Is this Wikipedia itself running on some kind of CVS-like system? (Then many people could use regular CVS-software to easily edit pages, and also have their copies ('backups at home') synchronised automatically.)
Can I somewhere download a (huge) weekly or monthly tarball of the complete Wilipedia-contents? How much would it actually be? 500MB or 40GB ?
Sorry for bothering, Pieter Suurmond
