Since they are no longer easily accessible, I thought I would share the raw archives: <a href="http://reagle.org/joseph/2006/06/nupedia-l.tar.bz2">nupedia-l.tar.bz2</a>. This HTML version of the e-mail archives was extracted from the <a href="http://web.archive.org/">Internet Archive</a> via the following command:</p> <blockquote> <p><code>wget --exclude-domains gizmology.net -e robots=off -nH --cut-dirs=3 --base=http://web.archive.org/web/20030822044803/http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/nupedia-l/ -r -l 4 -N -k -p -R js -Gbase http://web.archive.org/web/20030822044803/http://www.nupedia.com/pipermail/nupedia-l/</code></p> </blockquote> <p>I believe this archive contains additional textual processing subsequent to the `<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/">wget</a>` to make it more useful to me.</p> <p>If you wish to access the messages from this archive, turn off your JavaScript. Otherwise, you will be taken to the online version when you click on a link, which can be slow. However, accessing the online Web version can be useful if I failed to gather a copy from "20030822044803" date space of the archive and you want to try other periods. (One can also find an mbox-like file of the messages though it would require a lot of work to make it compliant to the mbox format.) This is a tar archive compressed with bzip. If you are inclined to cite this collection you can note it is part of the "Reagle Wikipedia Archive."</p>
