Revision as of 06:03, 21 May 2009
The latest dump of Appropedia - the text of all pages on the site, in one big XML file - is found here. (It's about 11.3 MB This is the newest revision of each page (not the entire history).
It is planned to make a new dump (weekly?). The date of the latest dump can be determined from... (the datestamp on the file after downloading, or is that the time you downloaded? or does it depend on your OS?)
The dump can be used:
- By the Pywikipedia bot, used by some editors. (See Category:Appropedia bots.)
- For offline browsing of Appropedia (if you can help with those instructions, please do).
- To export the data to another database
- As a snapshot backup (just in case...)
