Let's have a deal. If someone writes the dump reader, I promise to try
rewrite and familiarize myself with it. :-)
My main field of botwork is text replacements and spelling
corrections<http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Submissions/Efficient_and_flexible_text_manipulation,_spelling_correction_and_page_collections_with_Pywikibot>with
replace.py (as I am
* ill* of spelling mistakes people do all the time) thus dump is a primary
tool for me.

Well, tests is a big lesson for me to learn. I would appreciate an
introduction to them as they are really useful.
