Hi Gerry
Many thanks. Perhaps I can put you in touch with Otto too - if you are
willing and able to provide a mirror on a long term basis it would be
great to coordinate that with Otto whos is heading up the community
team which is going to be looking after qgis web presence in the
future.
Regards
Tim
