Forum:Recommend content dumps be made available monthly
Since Orain now has far more server power and resources than it did when it started out, I believe it might not be a bad idea for monthly content dumps to be made available of wikis, at least current revision only dumps (at least for Creative Commons licensed wikis, GDFL requires complete histories), though full history dumps should be made available on request. This can be easily accomplished using the dumpBackup.php script to produce XML dumps, which it should be possible to automate via a cron job given Orain's current resources. Also, the WikiTeam's last complete dump of Orain's wikis was in August 2013, and I do not believe their service would be regular enough to obviate the need for backups should they be requested.
