In the US we're honestly fine with Contegix, we don't have any service issues. What would help the infrastructure the most is encouraging the use of repository managers. So if you use Nexus and help promote that fact, it will have the highest impact in distributing the load. > If not, I'm going to dig in more to Nexus and we'll just setup a mirror for > hbase/hadoop stuff (I'm a serious maven noob just learning my way around now). > Setting up an official Nexus repository for that like we do at Apache, Codehaus, JBoss and then letting that be a feeder into central is probably the most sensible path. We'll help you setup a Nexus repository, and for OSS use you can use Nexus Pro which is what's used at all the OSS forges these days. > Let me know.
