[Foundation-l] Wikistats is back

Nice work Erik!

I am still quite shocked at the amount of time the english wikipedia takes
to dump, especially since we seem to have close links to folks who work at
mysql. To me it seems that one of two things must be the case:

1. Wikipedia has outgrown mysql, in the sense that, while we can put data
in, we cannot get it all back out.
2. Despite aggressive hardware purchases over the years, the correct
hardware has still not been purchased.

I wonder which of these is the case. Presumably #2 ?

Cheers,
Brian
