MediaWiki::DumpFile modules on CPAN. While I personally find this<br>

sleep best case and into permanent comas with their brains leaking out<br>
of their ears in the worst case. As such I'm going to let the list<br>
decide if it's worth me putting into the time and effort to make a<br>
presentation. Feel free to discuss, vote, or use what ever democratic<br>
or anarchistic decision methods are suitable to figure this out.<br>

The name of the talk would be "How to learn to work with XML by doing<br>
it wrong for 5 years" with the caveat that I'm not sure I'm doing it<br>
right yet. Audience participation would be welcome and encouraged to<br>
bring any other insight possible.<br>
