Dear relax developers and users. I hereby send a bash script for a FTP dump of the newly create relax wiki. Thereby the wiki can easily be created anywhere else, if created together with the mysql database. To prevent abuse of the webpage hosting service, I need to keep the password secret. The password is shared with Edward d'Auvergne. I suggest a setup, where Edward run a cronjob a his infrastructure, and expose the files to: http://download.gna.org/relax/wiki/ftpdump The FTP dump should only tricker when new files are added. That would normally only be when images are uploaded.
