Thank you for the generous offer.  It makes a lot of sense, especially
since I hope to leave Stanford this year, and I'm not sure how long
they will let me keep rdiff-backup.stanford.edu.  So really it's a
good thing you mentioned this, otherwise we might be having this
"where is the rdiff-backup homepage" discussion some months from now,
and then the problem wouldn't be a temporary DNS failure.

So, how about we take Dave up on his offer?  What should I do on my
end?  I don't know much about http, is when a page has changed part of
the protocol?  If so maybe he could just mirror the current page and
no change would be necessary on the rdiff-backup.stanford.edu end.

If this kind of one-way passive mirroring is too inefficient, it may
be time for me to move the rdiff-backup page to Savannah, which should
be stable long-term.  Then Dave and/or Mark could use CVS to mirror,
which presumably would be efficient enough.

Again, much thanks for the hosting offers.
