[Xmldatadumps-l] Dumps, dumps, dumps

[emijrp]

Hi again;

Today, I have discovered the design of the early Wikipedia database download
page, available in Internet Archive.[1]

Surprisingly you can download some of the dumps, but of course, only the
tiniest ones. For example, the old table dump for cs.wikipedia.org[2] which
is 595 KB and expands to 4.1 MB.

They are not so "usable", only for data hoarders ; ) and nostalgia time. A
piece of (Internet|Wikipedia) history.

Regards,
emijrp
