I was thinking of doing this myself.  Rather than limit the project by 
only providing a certain amount of space, I was going to dedicate a 
whole machine to the project.  Perhaps you should have the same thoughts?

I don't think it's "right" to be picky about what you'll mirror.  Sure, 
the project would be very greatful of your contribution, but at the same 
time, remember that not everyone uses FC3.  Some use FC2, and I still 
use FC1 Legacy on a number of machines.

What I'd *like* to see eventually is someone who can put together a 
server that contains all the RPMs that we can find for partiicular 
releases, instead of having to append to yum.conf other repositories. 
So basically we'd have one big motherload repository that contains all 
the software in one central point.  Think of something like Freshmeat 
doing a yum repository with all their software - that's what I'm thinking.

Just my $1.95.

Thanks
