Sure! I'm definitely interested! Thank you for doing that work. I was thinking about doing it myself, to be completely honest...

Would you mind putting your contact email in your profile? The other commenter intersted in this (manglav) already has this in their profile. I need a way to contact you. FYI - this should be done very shortly. I ran the script last night to scrape the site of all the relevant info. The actual download of all the files is running right now.

  I'd rather not publicly tie my email address to my hacker news profile... Is there any way you could reply to this comment with a download link? I would also be happy to tip you some bitcoin for your trouble, if you give me a bitcoin address

    No need for the BTC, but I appreciate the offer. https://www.4shared.com/zip/AdAKc8akca/Docracy_Site_Rip.html https://www.4shared.com/zip/AdAKc8akca/Docracy_Site_Rip.html You'll need a (free) account to download from that site if you don't already have one. You can create one just for the site or you can use Facebook, Twitter, or Google to log in. I recommend creating a regular, unlinked account. The main Excel excel file is the actual HTML scrape for the data I pulled. It's pretty self explanatory. The documents directory holds all the files. The filenames match exactly what is in the Excel file except that they are also prefixed with the unique ID the site assigns for every document to avoid filename collisions. 200mb unzipped. There are 12 "documents" on that site that were actually just pages that contain mini-blog entries that are links to multiple contracts because they are, for example, things like "contracts for your personal life" and "top legal documents for freelancers". I added "topic, group, multiple" to the tags and keywords columns in Excel to identify these items.
