This is an excellent question. It's not trivial, however. The
first thing is "what is the extent of the documents to be mirrored?"
This is not something we have defined well. The next is "who owns the
material and will they let us do it?" I am sure that most contributors
are sympathetic here, but we have to fomrally ask them. The final
question is "who is going to write the scripts, run them and post the
resilts at regular intervals".. I suspect that all three Q come down to
Alan and me to sort out and we are up to the limit at present! Any
suggestions are welcome.
