Put it somewhere reliable that can easily be copied and indexed
That's basically what I was getting at.
In the C&C community, all the old fan sites and forums died, and all the knowledge is hidden in discord servers that are terrible to search.
But only one step in the right direction. Releasing it from the clutches of one US corporation but trusting it in another isn’t quite good enough. For instance, say you upload the data as files in a Microsoft GitHub Git repository… well, you can’t use search without being autheniticated on that closed Git forge which will require an account & ToS agreements just to search the reposotiry without downloading it & for similar reasons search indexing won’t be good either.
