I am actually looking to re-write that tool to avoid those bugs which is why I was asking :)

I am looking to create a script for creating manual dumps for those wikis that either dont or wont publish their own dumps and that I dont have server access to. To that end I am writing a python dump creator, however I would like to ensure that my format is the same as the existing. I could reverse engineer it by looking at multiple different dumps but that takes a lot of time and is not fool proof, is there or can I get documentation and details on exactly how the XML dumps are formatted?
Such script already exists. See http://code.google.com/p/wikiteam/ and its mailing list https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/wikiteam-discuss
If you are proficient in python, you arrive in the best moment, since there's currently a discussion about fixing a bug in the tool when it uses the api. :)
