Subject: [Wikitech-l] Web space request
Hello,
for a while I've been generating html dumps of Wikipedia, that I would
like now to make public (since similar things are popping up left and
right, and it seems that it would be useful for legitimate mirroring).
Unfortunately, I lack the web space/bandwidth to host it myself. The
complete, compressed dump of the English wikipedia is around 750MB,
including all images. Adding the other languages (the ones using MediaWiki
software) it's about 1 GB. Removing images it goes down to maybe 200
megabytes.
Is there anyone with a suitable hosting? It needs aboud 1GB of space (and
growing a bit week after week :-), and reasonable bandwidth. Also, should
the dump include images or copyright issues are still unresolved?
Ciao,
Alfio
Ibiblio would probably host a mirror. email help(a)ibiblio.org. Images on a
mirror should be no worse than the images on Wikipedia itself, the problem
comes up when they are used in other contexts, especially commerical
contexts.
