With Hackage down, now seemed like a good time to push this issue again. It's such an important site to us that it's really rather a shame there are no mirrors of it. I have a personal-and-business server in a data center in Newark, with a fair chunk of bandwidth, which I'd like to offer for a permanent mirror. Is there interest in this? Who do I need to talk to for it to happen? Strategy-wise, I think the best approach is round-robin DNS, since that's transparent to the end user - everything would still appear at the URL it's at now, but behind-the-scenes magic would let things keep working when one or the other site is down. I haven't personally set up such a system before but I'm willing to take on the burden of figuring it out. So I have a better idea of what I'm signing up for, can anyone tell me how much disk space and how much bandwidth per month Hackage uses? I have a fair chunk of both, as I say, but I'd like to know in advance to ensure that things go smoothly. As for what I'd want in return for this, really nothing. I wouldn't say no to an unobtrusive mention somewhere on the site, but I'd be happy just knowing I'd given something back to the Haskell community, which has given a lot to me. -- Dan Knapp "An infallible method of conciliating a tiger is to allow oneself to be devoured."
