Thanks for your help. one more question:
We have started importing the wikipedia dump using ImportDump.php, the issue
is we are using PuTTY and an SSH session to do that. We have kept a PC and
the session open for 30+ hours now, we have currently imported 3,637,700
pages.
How long do we have to wait ? and i am 80% sure there has to be a quicker
way. Is there any ?
Thank you for your time,

We are setting up a mediaWiki with wikipedia dump
imported into it.
And we were wondering, how do we keep this instance in sync with new
changes
in wikipedia ? do we have to download the whole
dump every month and run
iomportDump.php or is there another easy way ?
You can subscribe to a live feed of changes, but this is a paid
service. Other than that, database dumps are the best option.
