Yes, lets start this....can just have a daily mirror with rsync on your
offsite...plz coordinate with me to flesh out how to do this properly on
our wiki (publicly onlist: http://openclipart.org/wiki) and also for an

Cool! We've had other mirroring requests in the past, so am open to
this, but fd.o in the past said it would be best to work on mirroring
all of fd.o, which would be cool too...

Daniel, what do you recommend?
