Nice article.
However these days I don't think it is important to get a lot of mirrors
running.
It's more important to have one master system with access interface and good
backup.
I was actually wondering earlier today if one sourceforge account could be
assigned to RAA and have all the RAA stuff, but I guess this violates some
SF policy.

Modules are already pretty well understood in Ruby, but there is the issue
with potential conflicts.
Perhaps there should be an official and an uoffical module scope e.g.
Alt::Test::Unit vs. Test::Unit such that major important names are not
introduced without consensus.
