Thank you for your comprehensive description of
accessing the archived data
in EC2.
Personally, I will consider it to get a dump that way in order to continue
working. However, I am curious if there are any news about the regular
server. Last update in
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Dataset1 was ten
days ago and I wonder how likely it is to fix the server e.g. next week.
Is there anybody here on the list who may update the wiki page?
Thanks!
Sven
Ariel updated it today. They are still going back and forth.
