Yes; jdp added our site to the masters list in the Handbook at http://www2.ca.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html > One more note- some of the 'mirror' links refer to > www.freebsdmirrors.org (or something like that).

We have an MxN problem now (M different pages for mirrors in N unique languages). What about a single list (or lists for CVSup, FTP, WWW, rsync, etc) that gets compiled automatically and sucked in by the various languages? The only problem I can see is that the country spellings (Canada/Kanada/...) have to be localized, which would take some doing, unless someone already has a convenient mapping for CountryCode, Locale -> CountryName.
