Public SourceMage Discussion List

[Ryan Abrams <rabrams AT sourcemage.org>]

I will include a request for various rsync tags in my next big ibiblio 
request email. This will allow mirrors to cron an rsync to various 
portions of our site, and thus mirror them.

I will post back here the details when it's ready.. but give me a week 
or two. I will make sure it's done before we go 1.0, so we can survive 
the onslaught. ;)
