[Bessig] Data Rescue and the shutdown

All

After Trump became president, there were large 'data rescue' efforts 
that were occurring throughout the US. During the government shutdown I 
thought perhaps NOAA data could be obtained from the archives of those 
data rescue activities for use by university and other non federal 
scientists. But I didn't see any reference anywhere during the shutdown 
to the data that was rescued.

Does anyone know if that data is available somewhere? Are the groups who 
did the hackathons updating data files? It seems the shutdown would have 
been the perfect opportunity to have made available the rescued data.

Also, now that some government orgs have websites with less info than 
they used to have, is anyone making the webpages that were rescued 
available to the public?

Thanks,

Cathy Smith
