finding ways to encourage more people to use the mirrors would be a
good thing, i think. making www.php.net simply be a site that bounces
people to other mirrors is an interesting idea.
we should probably boost the recognition of mirrors a bit, too. what
about moving the 'mirror provided by' stuff to the top of the page
instead of the (rather useless, imho) current date?
i think cutting out the mirror selection dropdown (and just providing
a more prominent link to the mirrors page) would make sense, too.
right now that dropdown adds 5k of extra weight on every page that i
suspect rarely gets used.
