We at perl.org took it over recently but haven't gotten this sort of thing setup yet. (First order of business was getting the mirror list maintained again, we setup a process for that and Henk Penning is now maintaining the list). Next on the list is getting a proper tiered mirroring setup going so we can get some load off FUnet. FUnet is already mirroring from here, but nobody else is yet (doh!). It will use Andreas' File::Rsync::Mirror::Recent system for "instant updates". I bought some new hardware for this but the ethernet controller went bad so it's back at the vendor. Lastly I'm going to setup a git repository and a system to maintain the "static pages"; probably building them with ttree (from template toolkit). Since there seems to be interest in helping with this, I'll try to get it done soon. :-) - ask
