from the chatroom on irc where I always hangout, i believe I've picked up that the database is being queried for serving current-articles. If so, wikipedia need sto cache (dump) out the current versions of pages into file format so as to create the most minimal load possible. Its probably a good idea too to dump out the edit page as well. im [[user_talk:hfastedge]]. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
