Sure, the PEP can be used as basis for the decision process, but someone still has to make the decision to add a mirror or not and these people should be appointed to by the PSF - much like we have an infrastructure committee to see after the python.org site. The situation is a lot like with the Python trademarks: The good guys always come and ask for permission. The bad guys don't. In order to go after them we need a clear set of rules for setting up and running a PyPI mirror and disallowing setups that don't follow these rules. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, Jan 20 2010) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ ::: Try our new mxODBC.Connect Python Database Interface for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
