Talking about which: Wikimedia CH has just provided some infrastructure 
for the short-term storage of this data -- that is, in order to make 
sure that it is kept until some long term storage can be arranged (it 
will work also for the longer term, as a backup copy, but it does not 
currently allow for easy access to people who need it, so another 
solution would be better).

Thanks to Mathias Schindler, we have a copy of the data starting from 
December 2007. I am currently getting bits and pieces of this data from 
different places (e.g. the dataset on Amazon) in order to make sure that 
we don't have gaps (a few files are corrupted, but we don't know yet if 
they were corrupted from the start or were corrupted during one of the 
transfers). All data for 2009 is also stored on the toolserver, but 
space there is constrained at the moment.

Cheers,

Frédéric
