Re: [Xmldatadumps-l] [Wikitech-l] Incremental XML dumps GSoC proposal

I realized I didn't post my proposal to the list yet (I have added it to the official GSoC site few days ago), so here it is: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Svick/Incremental_dumps In short, the project aims to create new format for dumps (which allow users to download parts of the database of Wikimedia projects). The primary advantage of this new format will be that it should take shorter time to create the dump, because the previous dump can be reused. Any comments or co-mentors (as far as I know, Ariel Glenn is currently the only potential mentor on this project) are welcome.
