A long time ago, I named the partitions on my hard drives after the characters in Firefly. So when I started this project, I noticed that Zoe was an empty partition, and made a directory called 'trope' there. I got my own joke about 10 minutes later.
[serenity:/Volumes/Zoe/trope] vorticity% ls | grep Main. | wc -l (because ls Main.* dies with this much data)
65260 (pages in the Main namespace)
[serenity:/Volumes/Zoe/trope] vorticity% du -ch .
1.8G total
1.8 GB is an awful lot of text, but 7zip can compress this to about a quarter of the size, based on some testing. So in other words, no bigger than 10 times EPU's creative output.
I'm still 8,100 pages short in the Main namespace, because it's not indexed. I'm not sure if I'm just missing zero-wick articles, or if the page count is listing articles that have been blanked. I'm running some last ditch attempts to find them, but I assume that most of the remaining articles are either unwicked redirects or low-content pages.
Okay, now is the time that I start asking for donations of articles that have been deleted due to the content policy. I'm looking for things in wikicode format -- not HTML, as some have been suggesting. This is the smallest representation of the content, and would be the easiest to port to another wiki. If someone wants to mine old copies of say, this page, for links, I would greatly appreciate it. Remember, the wiki code can be gotten by clicking the "source" button on the page. You can send stuff to me at bslaabs@ [the google mail service].
Also, I'd like to know if anyone has a recommendation for BitTorrent trackers. This enterprise is 100% legal, for what that's worth. Once you get a copy, Rpg1, you can upload it to your DDL service.
