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. - Colin [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).
