It seems to me that some local boards do not have sufficient smerit distribution, and it would be good to clarify that directly from data dump, which would help designing an appropriate distribution of merit sources. It would be useful to have
post ID, topic ID, board ID, merit
and check how much each local board is active and whether sufficient smerits are distributed. Of course spams and non-high-quality posts will be counted but I assume they are roughly proportional to the total number of posts.
Topic: Additional data dumps? - page 2. (Read 950 times)
UID -> name, merit, potential activity, posts
I can think of a few:1. Add "Activity" (not just "potential")
2. Add a banned-status to this list (ignore temporary bans)
3. Add either "merit earned" or "merit received for free at introduction"
Side note: there are more than 200 usernames with a comma, this will make processing a CSV difficult. Can you make this a file with just UID and name?
Just fyi,
You can see and gauge how much sMerit someone has simply by the transparency of the system. So that's a data dump hidden field.
You can calculate how much they've receieved versus how much they've sent... and from there you'll know how much sMerit they have left :/

I might suggest dumping the post history of individual users/accounts. This could be restricted by rank and otherwise be rate limited. I think this would be difficult to recreate any meaningful mirror site with this information.
As others have mentioned, the security log would be beneficial. The mod log, not so much because of its limited information.
It would be helpful if users outboxes (and other folders) can be downloaded since they cannot be easily searched. Obviously downloading this information would be restricted to users who are logged into their own account.

Currently there are two big data dumps available which auto-update weekly, trust.txt.xz and merit.txt.xz. These auto-updating dumps are pretty easy to set up, so I was thinking that it might be a good idea to produce several more of these, perhaps in the end forming a "ghetto API". What dumps would be most useful? Some that I was thinking of were:
UID -> name, merit, potential activity, posts
post ID -> topic ID, time, UID
topic ID -> board ID, first post ID
board ID -> board name
I'm not going to dump post contents in any form, since that would both be a massive file and it'd make things very easy for those annoying phishing mirror sites.

Modlog definitely.
It might be helpful to have a continuous version of the seclog without having to rely on archived pages.

This (the rest, aren't that important). I hope accounts with 0 post/activity are excluded (to eliminate having a massive file for information that's not needed).UID -> name, merit, potential activity, posts
Can we get another weekly dump, in form of tracking the positive/negative ratings (ex. Sent from where and sent to where) and also knowing removed ratings from someone? (Credit goes to Vod, based on this thread).
