If I'm reading this right, the last full zim archive of all of english wikipedia is wikipedia_en_all_maxi_2024-01.zim which is now about 16 months old. Is that right, or is are another more recent sources?

Do you know if there is an effort to publish more recent archives ? Or do you have any advice how outside developers could jump in to help with that project?
