Hi,

I believe a centos-mirror-announce list would solve some of the issues. People interested in providing help can continue to follow centos-mirrors(c-m) list, wheras those who want to be informed of only important updates can follow c-m-announce list. The status quo can continue for new mirrors/status updates in c-m list.

As a suggestion, Fedora's mirror management sytem is great, it gives the mirror administrators control over all aspects of the mirror from a web interface. You can consider switching to it, if there is enough manpower.

hi,

This has now been raised a few times, and I think its important to talk about : request for an centos-mirror-announce list, so mirror admins can only monitor that.

I think its important to not have an announce only list for the mirrors, and have a place like this list so issues important to the mirror admins can be discussed here. Things like how we might make changes to the mirror structures etc.

From my side of things there are 2 types of noise on this list :

1- people requesting new mirror additions and changes to status for those mirrors.

2- people running non-public mirrors using this list for chatter.

Tru, Ralph and I were talking about (1) yesterday and we can perhaps reduce that process to a webform. I am not sure what can be done about (2). Do we even want to do anything about it ?

Or, is there enough interest in having a -announce only list ?
