I knew the export existed, but my understanding was that it was ill-formed as in truncated since it didn't have a close tag on the outermost XML tag. So I thought that the data was incomplete and thus the dump was mostly useless.

Martin got another dump, and I asked if it contained all the data but just with a bad format, and he said he wasn't sure. That's why I was still planning on possibly writing a scraper if we didn't validate that the dump had all the tracker items.

the scraper I wrote in response to Brett's post has successfully down- loaded 80% of the data at this very moment (including attachments), so I'll probably keep playing with that one instead...

I'll reply to this in the other email you sent.
