Hello Karl,


Maybe I missed that message from June 25. I tried to find the open
ticket in Savannah but couldn't (maybe because I wasn't looking in the
right place).

I have a growing number of repositories and I'm creating them on
the fly, because on my own server it's easy. But I wouldn't want to ask
a volunteer every time I have a new random repository, so I will mirror
just some of them. For the beginning, just the wiki (whose content is
under CC-BY-SA 4.0), and maybe if any of the code I write becomes
useful or stable, I'll add code repos too.

But that wiki is the whole website of the project, and includes my
personal page, a blog, several server admin related guides, etc. And
the plans and designs of the software. I hope it's okay :-)

It would be very nice if an exception could be made, although I must
say I feel a bit uncomfortable with having such an exception made for
some random small young insignificant project. But if it's not a big
issue for Savannah, having a mirror in a safe visible place would be
great.
