DISCLAIMER:
I don't consider myself to be a voting member in whatever body in charge
of the IGLU server.  However, this does not prevent me from having my own
opinion and making it known.

My opinion:
NO.

The IGLU is about using Linux in Israel.  To promote Free Software in
general is something else.  Just as we don't commit to mirror FreeBSD or
OpenBSD, there is no reason to commit to mirror software which runs under
Windows.

However, if a separate domain for non-Linux Free Software is registered,
then IGLU may host it (like it hosts the Ivrix project).  The difference
is in degree of commitment.  If IGLU ever needs the space, it can ask the
other virtual domains to move out and find other homes.
