It's pretty likely that I could (gently) scrape the site with displaytype=xml, transform the XML, and get most of the data needed to bootstrap a perlmonks clone in the same way as we do with E2, and allow people who are so inclined to work locally or apply proper source control to the software on the site

My concern is whether or not those who are in charge of PM would object to me doing so in an open-source fashion. It'd be great if this sister site could benefit from my tools and later performance improvements. I might also have to adjust the E2 core libraries a bit, but I'd imagine they're 90% similar if you disclude the Everything::Experience bit. Is there a particular contact in the administration who might be most appropriate to direct this kind of a proposal?
