Why not start by being a "mirror coordinator", or similar. You could be the person people go to for (using your example) things like DNS changes - even if you have to pass the request on to a third party to action. In time, more responsibility and power would come? Assuming you're not actually Bill Gates in disguise ;) It'd be good to have a single point-of-contact for mirror issues, and someone who'd be responsible for decision making. In the long run it could make release time a breeze ;) Tim. -- Tim Bishop http://www.bishnet.net/tim PGP Key: 0x5AE7D984
