In that very same spirit, we are happy to return the favor by \u003Ca href=\"http://stackoverflow.uservoice.com/pages/1722-general/suggestions/25013-provide-a-database-dump-of-public-data\">providing a database dump of public data\u003C/a>.\n\nWe always intended to give the contributed content back to the community as a whole. Our primary concern was \u003Cstrong>making sure we didn't have \u003Ca href=\"http://www.freedom-to-tinker.com/blog/felten/great-now-theyll-ineveri-give-us-data\">an AOL-style \"incident\"\u003C/a>\u003C/strong> where we accidentally release personally identifying information in so-called \"sanitized\" data. Stack Overflow user \u003Ca href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/users/893/greg-hewgill\">Greg Hewgill\u003C/a> was kind enough to help us beta test several iterations of the data dump, ensuring that we didn't release anything except content that is visible on the public website. He also suggested several improvements to improve the data dump, so that it contains as much useful public information as possible.\n\n\u003Ca href=\"http://stackoverflow.com/users/893/greg-hewgill\">\u003Cimg src=\"http://stackoverflow.blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/893.png\" alt=\"profile for Greg Hewgill at Stack Overflow, Q&A for professional and enthusiast programmers\" />\u003C/a>\n\nCheers, Greg!

Most importantly, there should be hyperlinks back to the original question, and the profiles of all participants.\n\nOur plan is to create a new data dump every two months, reflecting all data in the system up to that date. We will seed the latest and greatest dump (at a low bitrate) as long as we can, ideally permanently.\n\nAnd yes, it's still fun to say \"data dump\". \u003Cstrong>We look forward to seeing what the community can do with this data!\u003C/strong>\n\nupdate: per this message from Cameron Parkins of Creative Commons, \u003Cstrong>cc-wiki is now an alias for cc-by-sa\u003C/strong>.\n\n\u003Cblockquote>Hi Stack Overflow-ers,\n\nMy name is Cameron Parkins – I do community outreach at Creative Commons and recently stumbled across your latest CC data dump.\n\nVery cool that you all are using CC! I wanted to give you a heads up that the license you’ve chosen, the “CC Wiki-License”, isn’t \u003Ci>really\u003C/i> around any more. It is in the sense that \u003Ca href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/\">it links directly to our CC BY-SA license\u003C/a>, but our attempt to brand it as a separate license for wikis never got off the ground. We don’t use or promote it anymore and when we see it, we try and reach out to whoever is using it to let them know.\n\nPart of the problem is that the Wiki License doesn’t carry any value, while our BY-SA license (which is what the wiki license is) has widespread community support around it. Would you all consider switching your indication as such?\n\nLet me know if you have any questions – would like to promote the project through our networks.\n\nBest,\nC\n\n—\nCameron Parkins\nCultural Program Assistant\nCreative Commons\n\n[aim] cam3ran\n[work] www.creativecommons.org\n[linkedin] http://www.linkedin.com/in/cameronparkins\n[cc newsletter] http://creativecommons.org/about/newsletter\u003C/blockquote>\n\nDo you love big data?
