Hi;
Do you know more projects which publish public dumps? I know Wikimedia, Wikia and Citizendium. Any more? I'm working in a tool for analysing dumps, and I want to add support to all of them.
Thanks, emijrp

In my experience, most wikis don't make these available, or only do it infrequently. You can find a one-off copy of the Wikitravel database here (listed at the bottom of the talk page):
http://wikitravel.org/en/Wikitravel_talk:Database_dump
OmegaWiki makes a full, regular dump available (in MySQL format) here:
http://www.omegawiki.org/Development
Note that most of the actual data resides in non-standard tables added by the OmegaWiki software.
I didn't find a dump for WikiHow, but they seem to be the kind of project that would make one available if asked. Finally, I came across this wiki which makes dumps available:

Hi,
There is the openstreetmaps project, using xml .osm format:
"A new version of planet.osm is released weekly (currently every Thursday morning). We have these, going back to the start of April 2006. The current size of a planet.osm file is over 171 Gigabytes.(reduced to 11GB with bzip2 compression) as of September 2010." from: "http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Planet.osm%22There is also WikiHow, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WikiHowThey license their content with Creative Commons, yet they don't provide public dumps of the site. I have asked them to about this in the past on their forum with no luck so far.cheers,Jamie
