Use case: Allow for easier export of portions of a wiki.
[edit] Tasks

[edit] Add dumpHTML and dumpBackup support for Collection
Use case: Allow users to export HTML and XML using the Collection interface.
[edit] Tasks
- Remove the article count limit for dumpHTML/dumpBackup formats
- Add support for adding a category, without expanding the category's article list
[edit] Provide parsed & semantically annotated XML of article text (dumps & API)
Use case: Make it easier to reuse the data. This was the #1 recommendation of the Wikimedia Strategy Offline Task Force.
[edit] How to get there
- Build a list of missing semantic information in the current XHTML output
- Subclass the parser and add
- semantic information where it is currently missing
- offer control over how templates are expanded
- add the new functionality to the API
