Question thread #52

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

DreamHack tools?

[apparentparadox]

I haven't scoured through the documentation, but are there tools to use with a dreamhack to bulk load/dump a dreamhack? It would seem useful, rather than having to manually add enough users and posts and comments to be able to have some set of files that just could be bulk added via some tool to provide enough data to work on.

There's one to create users (see http://wiki.dreamwidth.net/wiki/index.php/Script:_create-users), but I'm not aware of any for creating entries and comments. That would sound useful, though.

Dreamhacks can now import from Dreamwidth, but I don't think there tools built around that yet.
