If you want to try it, I'd be very happy to assist.

In addition, I would like to point you to another presentation about the
mirror framework.=20
http://www.poeml.de/~poeml/talks/apachecon08-mirrors.pdf
It is slightly newer than the other presentation, and puts the

Let me know if you have questions, or features that you'd need, or other
kind of feedback.

Thanks,
Peter
