Please look at things from our/my point of view. On debian-cd we discuss things related to CD image creation _and_ distribution (both electronically and physically). Here are the people who maintain mirror lists and webpages (namely Yours Truly) and do a lot of CD-related PR. The current way of mirroring is far too fragmented -- some time ago I had the bright idea of checking ftpsearch.lycos.com, and it showed ~15(!!) mirrors I hadn't heard of before, and that no-one actually was using because they weren't mentioned in our lists. And I didn't know of LinuxISO until a few days ago when it was posted on Slashdot. It's in the lists since that very day... > Before making a huge fuss, make sure you know the facts. But then how can I know facts if nobody tells me? I obviously can't keep up with each and every mailing list, hoping to see messages about CD image mirrors. That's (I think) one of the reasons why special-interest lists were created... Let me say it this way: please tell me/us things! Our users need us to know things, and you can never tell too much. Even agreements on possible future happenings -- so we can make sure things go as efficiently as possible.
