This pack is still being compiled and verified. We won't take money for something we can't hand over today. A Founding Gold Card includes every pack.

§01 — What's inside

The complete Stack Exchange network dump — Stack Overflow plus all 170-odd sister sites — restructured from XML into question-answer pairs with accepted-answer flags, vote counts, tags, and code blocks extracted and language-tagged. Deleted and low-quality posts filtered out.

§02 — Sample record
