Summary: Archiving of the site in progress; scripts and data are being made available for all to download

IN ADDITION to Drupal pages and almost 26,000 WordPress blog posts (and videos and podcasts, not to mention loads of IRC logs) we also have nearly 700 Wiki pages and a reader decided to organise an archive or an index for an archive.



Now available for download as a compressed archive (lots of XML files) is last week's pile. It's also available for download from the Internet Archive. Those are all the Wiki pages.

We also have a complete set of pages and associated scripts/metadata. We might post these separately some other day. We encourage people to make backups or copies. No site lasts forever and decentralisation is key to longterm preservation.
