Hi,
As Swiki's are (currently) unfit for the distribution of big files (no restart, for starters), I have setup a public FTP server at ftp.squeakfoundation.org (name is new so if you cannot resolve it, try again tomorrow).
If people want to upload content, they can do so in /incoming - I'll try to think up a sensible directory structure for the thing (comments appreciated :-)).
At the moment the server is totally empty. I'll try to setup mirroring of some well-known Squeak-related FTP servers in the coming days so the basic content one can expect will be there. Again, suggestions are welcome.
Regards,
Cees
I setup mirroring on the SqF FTP server for: - st.cs.uiuc.edu:/Smalltalk/Squeak/ (main squeak distribution site) - ftp.inria.fr:/INRIA/Projects/SOR/users/piumarta/squeak/ (Ian's Unix ports)
Suggestions for other mirrors are welcome - I want to try to bring together all Squeak-related material on this server.
Regards,
Cees

Great work, Cees! How about Lex's stuff for penguin heads?

And somewhere out there are the almost official Debian packages.
Cheers

ftp.cs.uni-magdeburg.de:/pub/Smalltalk/free/squeak/win32
This is Andreas' win32 VM site (actually a mirror of http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/ )

I'll grab it from the source, then :-). Thanks for the suggestion, I'll take it up as soon as I've completed mirroring of minnow (another good suggestion I received - I hope it'll work because Swiki doesn't seem to provide update time stamps (wget complains 'Last-modified header missing'), this might be problematic in determining whether Swiki pages need to be refreshed in the mirror copy.

That's great that you are tackling this.
If you can't get the update time stamps from the Swiki (which I guess means you'd have to refresh all of the pages in the mirror each time), perhaps you could not copy the history pages, which would greatly reduce the mirroring time, I would think. Or, you could do a weekly mirror instead of daily.
I'm just saying that it doesn't need to be perfect... any mirror is better than none.
(Of course the minnow Swiki would always be regarded as the master Swiki, since it's the only editable one.)

You allways have the recent page http://minnow.cc.gatech.edu/squeak/recent wich keep track of which page is changed . I can imagine a ugly perl script that reads this page from time to time and finds which pages to get or better a comanche enhancement that would send the right info per request. Karl
