I agree partially with Sei, but I have my own reasons for preferring the dump. If we do this via an export, you have to realize that most articles are not categorized correctly, which leads to hand picking which are "active" or "non active" articles and that would literally defeat the purpose. We have thousands of articles and I'm not about to go through each one and decide whether it's up to par or not and then painstakingly export each one to the Shout. We should just dump it all, then once it's on the Shout, we can delete what we want while keeping any articles we feel would be useful to keep.
