AFAIK, E:DumpHTML needs some loving first.
Can you elaborate on this? Is there anything actually stopping the extension
(or rather the script) from being run? Of course every piece of software has
bugs or feature requests, but if there are blockers to actually running this
script, can you point me to the list of these (or more preferably add them
as blockers to bug 15017)?
For context, "E:DumpHTML" refers to
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DumpHTML>, a pseudo-extension
(quasi-extension?) used to generate HTML dumps.
I use this extension on my wiki (
http://spiele.j-crew.de/,
http://misc.j-crew.de/wiki-dump/), but I find it quite brittle in the
face of MediaWiki software changes. Every few months, a change in trunk
breaks the extension in one way or another.
This sounds like a good candidate for some Jenkins integration tests
(commits are meant to break neither core MediaWiki nor Wikimedia's
deployment, which I guess would include this).
Of course, as you say, we'd need someone to take it on and at least
fix it up enough to pass originally before extending the CI to it.
