I have opened a bugzilla request to describe the main differences between 
older DPL2(0.8.2) and DPL(0.9.9) published here. This is needed to get access to the SVN respository. 
So if you find DPL in its current form useful, please leave a notice at bugzilla.

DynamicPageList (DPL)

DPL is a report generator for MediaWikis. It creates lists of articles that match certain criteria.
Articles are listed by name. Meta data like author, popularity or date of last update can be added.
There are several mechanisms to extract contents from articles and include it into the result. Inclusion can be based on labeled sections, chapters and templates.

Current Release is 0.9.9

Typical application fields for DPL are the automatic generation of summaries, image galleries and navigational aids,
creation of random pages and (probably most important:) quality assurance.

If you are using DPL please put a reference to your wiki in Websites using DPL.
