Because Wikimedia Polska (Polish Wikimedia chapter) is receiving majority of
funds via public donations done via Polish tax system, there are certain
reporting requirements attached. One of those is to run a publicly-facing
website that contains relevant "public sector information" as the information
to the general public.
Those "public sector information" websites are plain websites with some certain
requirements. There is a requirement that "public sector information database
needs to be backed up on separate medium within 24 hours after the last change;
if the information is changed more often than once per 24 hours, it is enough
to provide a backup once per 24 hours".
To avoid duplicated effort, we currently explore the possibility to use the
existing chapter's wiki, http://pl.wikimedia.org/ as the "public sector
information" website (we currently meet 90%+ of requirements).
I have currently two ideas how to fulfill this "backup requirement":
1) to generate our own dumps using Special:Export or toolserver.org (or its
labs equivalent, onces databases are available there),
2) to use Wikimedia XML dump service for this purpose.
I am not aware if Foundation-hosted wikis have some other form of backup
available.
Would that be possible to increase frequency of plwikimedia XML dumps to occur
once per 24 hours? I know there are currently some space issues, but maybe they
will be resolved later.
Currently
http://dumps.wikimedia.org/plwikimedia/20130821/plwikimedia-20130821-pages-meta-history.xml.7z
is only 25 megabytes.
