What I was thinking actually.. Put in a db that supports transactions 
and do known good checkpoints.. (Like once a day or something)  Just 
look over what's been updated... Make it freely updatable (Like* a 
wiki).. Have a cron job export it to CSV or whatever once a day to the 
ftp server and voila...  My only problem with this is bandwidth and cpu 
cycles on a db with 500k rows..  Would you or someone else be willing to 
mirror?
