Stack ExchangeAcademicEngagementKnowledge sharingQ&ASocial graphSoftware development The content of pm.stackexchange.com (https://pm.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 53,819 rows: 26,059 posts (6,398 questions, 19,238 answers, 208 tag wiki excerpts, 208 tag wikis, 4 posts of type 6 and 3 posts of type 7) and 27,760 comments, written between 4 September 2010 and 26 March 2024. Beside it are 41,349 user accounts, 100,270 votes, 51,465 badges awarded, 280 tags, 63,124 post revisions and 1,371 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 43 rows.
