So, in that respect I don't think > you're wrong. I've been watching for a while longer than you. I could be wrong and if I am I truly apologize to who this is likely to offend but... I don't think there is anyone other than the RE team that dabbles in the structure of the mirror system, and they only do it when it's close to release time. For example ISC's offer of a very nice mirror site went un-answered for a while and then incorporated in a flurry of late night activity by un-named higher-ups in the FreeBSD organization. So, I don't think anyone considers it their job to coordinate any of this. Again, apologies if I'm totally off the mark... I sorta noticed the apparent lack of a coordinator and sorta offered to help but haven't been told if they're interested. They might have other plans in the works and didn't need the help (or had someone else in mind with better qualifications... :-). -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
