Hi, This is a demo of the tool I'm building demo<https://googledrive.com/host/0B1hJO1N6piYFTTVZdW1mU2c0S28/visualise.html>. It needs to be interactive and be able to show the latest edits too, hence I dont think dumps would serve the purpose. Is there any other alternative you could suggest. In the past I have tried javascript wikitext parsers without much success.
