...this reminds me that I was planning to invite people on this list to comment on a
review of open data sharing options but I forgot to!
As part of the overhaul of Meta:Research mentioned in my previous post [1] we are trying
to identify the best solution to set up an open repository for publishing and sharing
research data among wiki researchers. There is a lot of resistance to data sharing in many
research communities, but we believe the Wikimedia Foundation could play a key role in
spearheading this initiative within the wiki research community.
If you have experience using open data repositories and would like to share with us your
thoughts, please send us your feedback at
Hi,
I doing a little makeover on the files before releasing them, I expect they will be ready
tomorrow. I'll try uploading to Google Docs, if they're not to large to handle.

Hi,
Following the discovery of the Wikipedia backups from 2001, and with
much appreciated help from Jospeh Reagle, I created excel files from the
diff_log and rcl_log files that together include all the edits from
January 15th to August 17th (the last in the backups). the files include
the time of edit and the editor's username and IP. While they are a bit
buggy, and could use some more editing (or preferably, conversion to
wiki format), they are simple, easy to work with (using searches and
filters), and full of interesting stuff.
If anyone is interested, I'd be happy to share them.
Perhaps a public distribution on Google Docs would allow interested
researches to do so, wiki-style?
