I'm forwarding this to wikitech-l.
I've been wanting to do a dump of our article titles to insert into the
search engines that I manage (bomis and 3apes, mainly), just to drive more
of the traffic that I influence towards wikipedia. I did a little program
for this in the old UseMod days, but Bomis hasn't updated it's wikipedia
links since then. :-(
Perhaps we should have a script to generate RDF, which is a simple format used
by dmoz and familiar to search engine operators.

Subject: [Wikipedia-l] Fwd: Adding Wikipedia to OneLook
I just received this from the maintainer of OneLook, a
meta-search of dictionaries (and some encyclopedias).
Is there any way to produce a flat file of all our
articles? This would also allow Wikipedia to once
again work with Sunir Shah's MetaWiki search.
If you haven't tried OneLook before, give it a spin.
It's fantastic.
