[Xmldatadumps-l] Mirroring Wikimedia project XML dumps

[emijrp]

Thanks, Paolo.

I hadn't added archive.org because it requires us to upload the files, and
the files cannot be deleted in the future, so, upload the latest dumps
(updated every month or so) could be a waste of resources for them. I was
thinking about mirrors who runs wget to slurp all the files from
download.wikimedia.org, and the next month delete the previous ones.

Of course, we can contact to archive.org to ask them about the wget idea.

Regards,
emijrp
