Dear Sir of Madam,

I would like to see what impact Flow will have on dump files. I see that LiquidThreads still appear in the XML dumps of enwikinews (as of 20150602).

LiquidThreads is still being used on quite a few projects. So far the main focus has been converting the pages on mediawiki.org[1] (only 2 left!).

Will the tables containing Flow records be dumped in SQL or XML format?

Given that Flow data isn't being stored in the normal page storage system, it probably won't go into the XML dumps. Based on [2] it looks like the plan was to have custom XML dumps, but I think we'd now probably use JSON like the Wikidata dumps.

Are there now any SQL or XML dumps that contain Flow records?

Don't think so. The current dumps on projects using Flow will probably reference Flow boards, but not contain their content.

If not, can you forecast when Flow will appear in the dumps?

I don't know when dumps of Flow will become available, but [3] is the tracking ticket for it.
