while i would like this, it leads in some ways to quite complex setups. e.g currently i have apache.planetmirror.com. in the past, references to the httpd project were available at apache.planetmirror.com/httpd/ if we split all the projects off, we will now have: httpd.apache.planetmirror.com i am not totally opposed to this, but it does add a layer of complexity - instead of one virtual host, i will now have to setup perhaps 5, or 10. > 2) Making as many of the apache projects mirrorable and having some sort of > database system on apache's main web server that maintains the following > information this is getting to be extremely important. > 3) Why don't we instead of hard-coding httpd.apache.org/docs on the main > page of httpd.apache.org just have references to the directories since they > are on the same web site. ie have /docs and /docs-2.0 yes please. one of the more annoying things from my POV is that a lot of users who *used* to use a local mirror to use the online documentation don't bother anymore. basically, the requirement i have as an apache mirror is that i would like to maintain all of the apache content locally. exactly how that's structured and what hoops i have to jump through to make that happen.. i am pretty flexible with. cheers, -jason
