Tell them you want to create a public data set which is a snapshot of
the English Wikipedia. We can coordinate any questions, and any
implementation details, on a separate list.
That's a fantastic idea, and would give en: Wikipedia yet another public
replica for very little effort. I would imagine that if they are willing
to host enwiki, they may also be be willing to host most, or all, of the
other projects.
It will also mean that running Wikipedia data-munching experiments on
EC2 will become much easier.
