Forgive me for my ignorance on this, as I’m still pretty inexperienced with this, but is there a group or a project that makes data available from various sources, such as Kiwix for downloading Wikipedia? I figure the last 2 months have been a real wake up call and I have since downloaded the .wix for Wiki, but wonder if there is something similar that crawls .gov sites or .uni/.edu sites for archiving purposes and packaged for easy distribution/downloading?

Keep in mind, I have no idea how much effort goes into projects like that, and I can definitely appreciate it now that we have seen what happens when we take something for granted.

Just a thought that crossed my mind this morning and I wanted to post it before I forgot.
