From Wikitravel

There are currently no official database dumps of Wikitravel available for download. Some people have asked to make dumps available.

A community-maintained unofficial project produces dumps of all articles' wikicode.

WikiTeam also provides dumps, in XML format.

[edit] Reasons to make dumps available

• makes it easier for other sites to use WT info
• will make the Offline_Reader_Expedition successful
• see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps
• the lack of database dumps may lead to project forks

[edit] Reasons not to make dumps available

None?

[edit] Who wants to help out, and in what way

• Guaka is willing to help, but doesn't know in what way, at this point 07:34, 21 June 2007 (EDT)
• Zac Stewart is currently working to create an offline wiki browser. 04:23, 11 August 2007 (EDT) Note: This functionality is already provided by Wikifilter for Windows and Encyclopodia for iPod. - Pizzaninja No it's not, those require a dump... -semibreve42
• Prosthetic Head would really like to get the database dump for use in aarddict[1] for easy offline reading on smartphone and laptop and would be very happy to help with that process if he can. Prosthetic Head 12:07, 17 February 2010 (EST)

Surinder Wadhawan desperately needs the dump to create a TR3 file for Palm OS. Willing to help in everyway. 02:32, 25 April 2010 (IST)
