I've downloaded them to my machine and added them to ipfs 0.4. Currently they are being pinned by biham.

The folder hash is QmYgHvTrSfPJH5Dswq6NB8wTHH77BFaJdLP8UBYJz9Wz19 with the nested parts being listed here

Awesome, thanks @Dignifiedquire :)

http://v04x.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmYgHvTrSfPJH5Dswq6NB8wTHH77BFaJdLP8UBYJz9Wz19 is showing the listing :) official pinning on biham is still running

[RichardLitt]

Is this done, then? What remains?

[dignifiedquire]

Still not finished pinning it onto biham :(

At a minimum, we should include a datapackage.json file, as described in https://github.com/ipfs/archives/issues/45

Also, if possible, the script used to create this archive should also be included, so that others can help keep it up-to-date.

Finally, it would be super-awesome if we also had some way to interface with this data. Having an archive of this stuff is important, but in its current form it is of limited use to users (both IPFS users and Stackexhange users)

No script, just manual labour.

It would be, but not sure how as this is mostly gigantic xml files.
