The Wikipedia archives for some major languages have been restructured (*), in order to reduce database size. The conversion took many weeks, during which no new dumps were made. About a week ago dumps in the new format became available. Now the stats scripts need a non-trivial update. Unfortunately I have been very busy lately. I hope to start working on this within a week or so. By the way: I'll probably need to turn away from the dumps towards direct SQL access after the major database scheme change planned for the next major MediaWiki release. This will probably mean the stats job should become restartable and data should be collected incrementally. As I can only work seriously on that after the databases shuffle has been completed, or a good test set has become available, expect a similar outage by then.

Brion and Tim talked about this in Berlin, and explained this was critical to keep database server up and running, as there was only free disk space left for a week or two and no more open slots to plug in extra disks.
