Hi researchers, I'm forwarding a mail by Tomasz to this list, who just announced that the database dump on English Wikipedia is complete. Finally, after 3.5 years since the last complete dump with all versions, a new version is available.
The mdf5stum of that 280GB file is "65677bc275442c7579857cc26b355ded". Please see this thread on Wikitech-l for more information: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2010-March/047110.html Regards, Church of emacs
--- Begin Message ---New full history en wiki snapshot is hot off the presses! It's currently being checksummed which will take a while for 280GB+ of compressed data but for those brave souls willing to test please grab it from http://download.wikipedia.org/enwiki/20100130/enwiki-20100130-pages-meta-history.xml.bz2 and give us feedback about its quality. This run took just over a month and gained a huge speed up after Tims work on re-compressing ES. If we see no hiccups with this data snapshot, I'll start mirroring it to other locations (internet archive, amazon public data sets, etc). For those not familiar, the last successful run that we've seen of this data goes all the way back to 2008-10-03. That's over 1.5 years of people waiting to get access to these data bits. I'm excited to say that we seem to have it :) --tomasz _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
