The current version of MediaWiki would provide an easy way to download all 
pages and their history. So if the Codex will be upgraded in the near future 
I can wait for that. Otherwise I would create a way around it, with a script 
that will do multiple export requests.

Thank you for that! However, I want frequent (say weekly) dumps, to get some 
interesting statistics, which should result in ways to encourage people even 
more to contribute to the codex.

No, nobody asked me to do it. I just thought that it would be easier to read 
the group like that. I only read about the plans to move to P2 after I set 
up the mirror. (The only downside to a blog instead of a mailing list is 
that it is harder for a newcomer to start a new topic - like this one. Or is 
there a "submit a post" possibility?)

Thanks,

Thank you, for all the work you have done to educate users and maintain 
resources for developers. I hope I can use the "good vibes" that I got from 
the WordPress Stack Exchange to improve the Codex too.

Greetings from a sunny Belgium (we could use some rain here),
