If you drop me a line I can get you a DB dump - josh [ at ] bluescripts.net or open an issue on github

Any chance you'll make it generally public? I can see reasons for keeping it private and for having a public repository with occasional database dumps, don't know where you fall on that.

Of course, anyone who runs an SSH server on port 22 knows it's not that hard to generate your own little database quickly enough.

All the data is currently public (via the API) - you just have to know how to query the API to get it. Not sure if a publicly accessible endpoint to dump all data is a good idea (since that could get resource intensive).

If you have a suggestion for some api endpoints or better querying, let me know.
