For those of you who would like a local copy of Sensei's Library, here it is:
Snapshot of Sensei's Library, 2004-10-05
(with over 9600 pages and about 16500 diagrams)
as .tar.gz (31MB) or as
.tar.bz2 (26MB)
(if unsure take the .tar.gz file)
The snapshot includes all pages, diagrams, and SGF files.
Just like everything else on SL, this snapshot is published under the terms of the OpenContent license. See SL copyright.
Please see PocketSL or SLoT for snapshots viewable on most hand-held computers.
If you think that the snapshot is out of date, drop me a short message.

See http://senseis.xmp.net/files/snapshots/ for older snapshots.
Note: snapshots from 2002 or earlier may have filename link mismatches on case-sensitive systems.
Q: Could snapshots be provided more often?
A: Currently, making a snapshot of SL is not done by a script, but manually. There is a plethora of reasons why. I'm working on resolving the remaining issues, so that it can be done by a script. Meanwhile, I provide a new snapshot every 2-3 months.
The wiki-dump.sql file used by the hand-held snapshots is updated once per month (automatically).
Q: I'd like to play with the wiki data myself. Do you provide the wiki data in source text format?
A: Yes. Use the wiki-dump.sql file. It is a snapshot of part of the wiki database. It contains all information necessary to play around. The file is updated monthly.
