Subject: Old English Wikipedia image dump from 2005
To: wikiteam-discuss(a)googlegroups.com
Hi all;
I want to share with you this Archive Team link[1]. It is an old English
Wikipedia image dump from 2005. One of the last ones, probably, before
Wikimedia Foundation stopped publishing image dumps. Enjoy.
Regards,

People interested in image dumps may be also interested in my post
relating to the GFDL requirements, which I think mean images need to
be included in the dumps.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Terms_of_use&diff=pre…
excerpt:
"..the [GFDL] license requires that someone can download a
''complete'' Transparent copy for one year after the last Opaque copy
is distributed. As a result, I believe the BoT needs to ensure that
the dumps are available ''and'' that they can be available for one
year after WMF turns of the lights on the core servers (it allows
'agents' to provide this service). As Wikipedia contains images, the
images are required to be included. .."
discussion continues ..

I would read this as requiring access to the images to remain available,
not necessarily in dump form.
Unrelated to that, I would still like it if there were a mirror of the
Commons images; I guess this would avoid intellectual property rights
issues that we could run into with non-free (i.e. fair use) images. In
he past we have talked about how this could happen, most likely copying
right off the disks. The conensus however was always that we would only
be willing to do that if there was a guarantee from the instutition or
group wanting the copy that they would maintain a publically accessible
mirror.
Providing multiple terabyte sized files for download doesn't make any
kind of sense to me. However, if we get concrete proposals for
categories of Commons images people really want and would use, we can
put those together. I think this has been said before on wikitech-l if
not here.
So, can we find some institutions interested in 17T or so of data,
growing every day? Educational instutions or organizations involved in
open content would seem a good starting point.
