Looks good ... I might play with the layout and fonts a bit when I get a
sec. :)

What would be *really* sweet is if all the mirror sites ran MySQL and we
used MySQL's built in replication to keep all the databases in sync.
I think (however) that getting all the mirrors to run MySQL *and* keep it
up-to-date, etc., may be too much of a requirement. I don't mind it for my
mirror, and it might be a way to get better quality mirrors, rather than the
quantity we are seeing now. [1]
I think Jim was working on generating a dump of the annotated manual into
some kind of serialized structure, which could then be rsync-ed like all the
other site files. This could be a viable solution too.

[1] I'd still like to see www.php.net default to a map of the world or
something where you then select the closest mirror. This would be
especially useful if all mirror sites provide the same functionality (via
MySQL replication).
