Hello all,
Right now I'm trying to answer a simple question:
- Would the current Haskell.org / hackage infrastructure benefit from
the donation of a dedicated VM with good bandwidth/uptime?
Whoever already knows how to do this could configure it.
In trying to answer the above question I found this long email thread from
1.5 years ago. Duncan said the following:

That's certainly what we've been planning on, that anyone can run a mirror, no permissions needed. The issue people have raised is what about having public mirrors that are used automatically or semi-automatically by clients.
Are there any updates to this in the last year? Is anybody running a mirror? The other reason I've been thinking about this is the scoutess project. More public testing or continuous integration facilities would require more hardware resources. -Ryan
