Manx dumps
A raw MySQL dump of Manx is now online: vt100.net/manx/dump. I think there was an XML dump at some point, which linked publications and copies, but I don’t know how that was generated at the moment.
I’ve scribbled two pages of notes about Manx’s schema and philosophy which need typing up at some point. Well, “philosophy” is a grand word for it, but I mean some notes which explain why the database is organised a certain way, and how it is more than a list of documents. Manx is very much geared to cataloguing technical documentation, and a proper discussion of the features may help future maintainers.
The code that powers Manx needs some organisation and separating from the back-end scripts, many of which are obsolete and would only serve to obscure your understanding of the application. I’ll get round to that (hopefully) shortly.
The database is free for you to use in any way you see fit.
Thanks! This is very useful. I made an XML dump for anyone who wants it, although I haven’t verified it past making it so a sanity check would be in order. If anyone wants to discuss making a new page for this, I can be contacted at: trs 80 at marmotking com

manx is reborn. We’ve started an open source project on codeplex to recreate the original manx so that Paul can take his offline anytime he feels like it without worry. We would like to extend manx so that data can be contributed by anyone within a community of peers (we know who we are
. Please feel free to join us on codeplex to discuss the new manx.
