like for example: the wikimedia db dumps, or the stack exchange db dumps.

i'd like to be able to browse lesswrong while offline. even better if i can process the data with a script while offline.

it would also be useful for backup purposes: if ever something happens to the site in the longterm, some of it's users might have an exact copy that can be corss-compared and used to restore/share its content.

There used to be a downloadable archive of all posts on the old LW 1.0 site. I think there was a SiteMeta post about it, but I can't find it, but anyway that link wouldn't work anymore. I think such an archive it's a nice thing to have and also avoids unnecessary scraping.

@gwern : is this something you'd be interested in having?

Not particularly now that GW exists. Its posts are easy to archive, and if I need something, I can always just ask saturn2.

does greaterwrong.com have archive files that i can download? or do it need to archive it myself (ex: wget -mk) ?

You should probably ask saturn2 for permission before doing so.
