Now that we have download.osgeo.org on osgeo7, I'd like to proceed with this.

Can you send me a public key you'll be using to sync the files and I'll create an account for it to pull.
I think a 2-3 scheduled syncs a day should be sufficient.

The folder we'd want synched is the  /osgeo  folder on download.osgeo.org

Thanks,
Regina
