One could ignore edits that have been reverted.
Detecting reverts,
in the strict sense of the word, is easy: all you need is a hash
value for each revision.
Of course, this wouldn't be perfect. But it'd be as close to perfect
as any automated system can be. And it _would_ skip most vandals.
And what happens if the next edit merges some content back in from the
reverted text?
Since this happens _after_ the export, it is irrelevant. When you export
an article, you can only take into account edits done before that moment
in time :)
But otherwise, valid points. That "contributor" stuff can easily get very
messy and unpractical.
Btw, the coverter is very neat and I will toy around with it later -
whether wikimedia uses it or not. Luckily, I can just skip the whole
"contributor" issue, because the wiki I maintain doesn't use the same
license as wikipedia.
Best wishes,
