Andrew,
I was careful not to say what you proposed. The quote you suggest is
technically/true/correct/good as far as it goes. The other bullets I gave are
why we discourage mirroring even for those.
For example, in your mirror (I think you still have it available), are there
any modules that are more current on the CrossWire server than in yours? Or
visa versa?
If someone posts to sword-support a problem with the text in a module (we get
these all the time), having mirrors complicates support.
We can figure out how to state it.
But the way the wiki works is that everyone is welcomed to get an account and
create content. Using the Talk pages is an excellent place to discuss what
should be on the page. David, Chris and I moderate the content, after the fact.
In Him,
DM
