after several "not available" messages for N900 users where telling I thought about setting up "professional" mirroring would be usefull for our community repositories.

For this we need:

• an official mirror list in our wiki
• rsync at the repository.maemo server
• requests send out to mirrors (univerities) all over the planet

and maybe a policy (we should follow what ubuntu and debian does).

For this we could setup:

• a mirror URL for traffic sharing (forget it, apt is not able to follow http-redirects...how do I cross text?)
• regional mirror URLs
• nokia to include it with HAM to have a fallback for future server issues

what do you think?
