Again, I was on the message you mentioned. I was the person Ariel was
responding too. I have been in touch with Ariel in the past, but he
not responded to any emails from me or others for almost three weeks
about the situation. Problems in Greece, on holiday, real-life, ...?
>> Last month, French, German, Japanese, Russian,
Spanish and others were never completed.
I use over 40 languages, not just enwiki. The one's that didn't
finish are useless for the majority of people. It takes two weeks to
dump all languages except for enwiki and only one has started in 18
days. By "started", I mean re-started a pre-existing dump to
completion. No new dump has commenced in over a month. For many
languages (French, German, etc) it has been two months. Things are
dead.
Does anybody know how to get dumps working who's name isn't Ariel?

Hello,
I apologize if I was not clear enough. The dumps are being run manually because Ariel is
currently testing the new framework. It is thus to be expected if the dumps are not being
produced according to schedule. Also, I believe the enwiki dump is still being produced,
so I doubt that the process is "dead", it's just slow.
Perhaps Ariel is able to provide more information on this issue, as I am unable to
comment further than this.

I did mention that dumps are now run manually. I was on the message
you mentioned. Only one dump has started in the last 18 days, this
is in addition to larger languages never completing. Going from two
dumps a month to no dumps a month is not a "delay", it is dead.

Ariel noted last month that the dumps are currently being ran manually. [1] Having delays
in the dumps production should thus be expected.
Hope this helps.

Three months ago, "they" changed the way dumps are done. "They"
wanted stubs for every language done first and work on the rest of the
dump later.
Old way: Two dumps a month for all languages except enwiki. A new
dump was started when one completed. Except for larger languages,
dumps were done in under a day.
New way: One dump a month for majority of languages. Dumps have to
be started manually. All dumps take 2-4 weeks to complete.
Last month, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and others were
never completed.
It's about to be August 5. No dumps have started this month. Only
one dump has started in over two weeks.
Does anybody know how to get dumps working again.
