I'm finally finding a little extra free time and I've setup a dev blog
to use. While I was doing this, I wondered if anyone has created a DB
dump of entries to use for testing. There's been a lot of discussion
about encodings and internationalization, which is something I haven't
used on my own blog. With the upcoming release of 1.3, there are also
going to be a lot of people upgrading existing WP blogs from various
versions.

I guess what I'm asking for are test cases for a mixture of entries,
categories, links, etc. I'd like to see a DB file that could be used
to test the bugs on mosquito and also upgrades and regression tests.
If I can do anything to get this rolling, I'd be glad to help. Let me
know what you think.
