[Toolserver-l] Getting lengths of old revisions

[Euro]

Hi there,

I would also love to see such a script. The next step would be to run it on ALL OLD EDITS of every db und add the according values in the replication of the revision tables. 

Maybe this can be done even easier with the XML-Dumps. I advice you to ask Felipe Ortega who wrote WikiXRay:

Greetings and good luck
