Great idea!
Well, if 1.0 isn't going out today, then a really great time to do this
would be *right now*, before 1.0 does go out. And if there's any
administrative work involved, someone who can't fix bugs, write remaining
docs, etc. would be just perfect to do it.
Did anyone think to make a list of the sites that offered to create mirrors
for us or do we need to search through the archives? I assume most of these
places have mirrored lots of sites and it will be very simple to have them
mirror one more place. It would be nice eventually to alias them to
us.lyx.org and stuff, but that's less important to start with. Our first
priority is just to allow lots of hits on the off chance that a lot of
people read the press releases and decide to try it out. It couldn't hurt to
mirror the lyx source and/or binaries too, if there's enough space at the
mirror sites.
