This is something that Ryan will be taking care of with help from someone, 
but 
the important thing is to wait until we have frozen to test at least... 
otherwise you might have to re-mirror quite often. After 10 oct we have two 
weeks to test/refine that grimoire for 24 oct when it will become a frozen 
stable grimoire (rc1) which must then be mirrored (or anyhoe, it will be the 
one we need to supply hosted sources for!). 

Thanks for the offer, I am sure we will use any and all offers we get!
