Hi everyone,
WMF constantly releases dumps <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data_dumps>of
Wikipedia and other WMF projects. As these are huge files and download is
difficult, there is a constant need of mirrors. The current mirrors are
listed at
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dumps#Curren…
but
need some organization. Ariel Glenn (CC'ed), who is responsible of XML
dumps, is looking for somebody who can help organize the mirrors so that
people trying to donwload the dumps are offered the closest geographically
up-to-date mirror as it is usually done at other donwload sites. Does
anyone have experience with this?
Also, if anypne has idea of organizations, which might be willing to host a
mirror ( requirements
here<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mirroring_Wikimedia_project_XML_dump…)s>),
please let me or Ariel know.
Mariya
