I'm currently downloading a tracker snapshot that could be useful for testing; it'll take a few more hours before all data are downloaded (provided that SF doesn't ban me, and I don't stumble upon more cases where a certain rhettinger has pasted binary gunk into an iso-8859-1 form ;-). $ python status.py tracker-105470 6681 items 1201 pages (17%) 104 files tracker-305470 3610 items 0 pages (0%) 0 files tracker-355470 430 items 430 pages (100%) 80 files the final step is to finish the "off-line scraper" library (a straightfor- ward ET hack), and make a snapshot archive available to interested parties.

The reason I didn't want to deal with the trackers quite yet was that I could see people getting the trackers up and squared away, and then just get frustrated when we were unable to get the SF data to them quickly. I didn't want other people stuck spinning there wheels waiting on us.

(wasn't there someone with backchannel access to the SF data ?)

I wasn't talking about individuals, I was referring to the trend where PSF moves something off a public forum, and the work just ends up going nowhere.
