WikiFur dumps

[GreenReaper]

Hi guys. I noticed you have a dump of WikiFur's pool wiki marked as "WikiFur", which is actually the least interesting of our wikis:
http://archive.org/details/wiki-poolwikifurcom_w

We have 7zipped XML dumps of all our wikis updated daily:
http://dumps.wikifur.com/

Perhaps someone could grab the English version from there, at least, and upload it? Our deprecated image pool really isn't going to be much use to anyone, not least because most of the content isn't in the archive.

Hi there,

Its great that we have a representative of the WikiFur project communicating with us. The item you mentioned was automatically uploaded by one of our members. We could see what we can do with all the other dumps that you have (we will probably grab those dumps and put them on the Internet Archive periodically).

Just a little request on our part though, can you rename the dumps you are generating to contain the date in the filename? It is easier for all of us to know when a dump is generated without having to check the last modified date. Thanks!

We've started downloading old wikis first, so the only other wikifur
dump coming from the TaskForce effort is http://ru.wikifur.com .
So yes, someone should mirror the dumps on archive.org.
Thanks for producing them!

I can directly upload them from inside archive.org unless anyone has
any objections.

What is our template for identifiers?

Yes please.

(it's what *you* told us :p), except that now we're not using dots in
the identifier.
We're also using last-updated-date as field for the date of last
snapshot, might be useful (and if you have any idea whether it's a
correct usage of this field even better).

Sorry, I forgot about that. Heh, my bad.

That will get overwritten whenever someone touches the item. It's a
system field used to track when the last modification to that item was
(review, rederive, etc. all count for this).

I recommend using something like <latest-snapshot> instead. any thoughts?

Are you sure? Isn't that "updatedate"?

Whoops, that's what I thought you meant. My bad. Last-update-date
should be fine to use, as far as I know. Onward!
