I know current one only includes current edits, and history one has all edits as introduction said. You have explained the difference perfectly :) More specifically, how different shows on one article? Can anyone explain it in detail, please? It doesn't show the article. It's just a really really large bunch of wikitext separated by xml tags. It is shown by a tool. If you just wwant to read the articles, you don't need histories. What I mean is that if the current dump show there are 30 edits under the particular article name, and history dump show there are 100 edits under the same article. what's different between these 30 and 100? If i say that the current dump can explain how the current articles established from different edits, is that correct? Additionally, why all the statistics of Wikipedia only use history dump for analysis? Because they study things like changes made to articles, number of edits per time... Thanks very much!

Wow, can you confirm that only the lastest edit can be collected by the current dump? So, the current dump isn't meaningful in the term of statistics?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Google Summer of Code Accepted!
W00t! So exciting! On Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 1:33 PM, Rob Lanphier ro...@robla.net wrote: Hi folks, We've been accepted again for another Google Summer of Code! What this means: * Mentors: please go to this page to formally apply to be a mentor: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/mentor/request/google/gsoc2010/wikimedia Note: you can't officially be a mentor until you do this, and we can't do it for you (part of it involves agreeing to the mentor agreement). Question for the group: how many student slots do you think we should request? On the advice for mentors page, it says: A good rule of thumb when finding and assigning mentors is to have two mentors per student. It is also a good idea to have a spare mentor or two who can pay attention to many students and keep track of the big picture. Given our current list of mentors (we have 9 listed, plus 1 maybe), that would give us 4 as the number of slots. Does that seem like a number that's both low enough that we can be reasonably confident we'll do a good job mentoring, but high enough that we're not selling ourselves short? * Students: it's still not yet formally time to apply, but now is a really good time to start brainstorming ideas, and getting clarifications on what's already been suggested: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010 While you may be tempted (from a competitive perspective) not to reveal what your ideas are early, it is almost certainly going to be to your benefit to engage now. By engage, I mean demonstrate that you're really thinking about how to improve MediaWiki and other Wikimedia project technologies, and have the wherewithal to do it, not merely impress us with what skills you have. The more specific and thoughtful your ideas, questions, and suggestions are, the more comfortable we'll all feel in selecting you. You might want to take a peek at the GSoC student agreement now, since you'll be required to agree to it as a precondition for being part of this year's program: http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/studentagmt Rob ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hoi, Having one is not so much of an issue.. How are you going to operate it ? Where do you locate this tool? Where do you get the books from..

After running into some odd issues with git-svn and since it takes around 3 weeks to do a complete git-svn import (with branches) of the MediaWiki SVN repository I'd like to get access to `svnadmin dump' output as run on mayflower. [...] No answer to your question, but can you estimate how large the git repository will probably be? The complete conversion with all branches/tags is which goes up until r62638 (Feb 17) is 406MB. You can clone it at http://github.com/mediawiki/mediawiki-svn. I'll wait till you have sorted out the hiccups :-). Of course a proper conversion to Git would involve splitting up the repository into logically separate chunks. Grabbing just the data you need (phase3 + a few extensions) would take less space and be faster than with SVN now. I don't know whether I would want that the former - after a few days with intermittent problems with my InterNet connec- tion I really got to love git's stand-alone approach.
