[Haskell-cafe] Offer to mirror Hackage

[Ryan Newton]

Hello all,

Right now I'm trying to answer a simple question:

   - Would the current Haskell.org / hackage infrastructure benefit from
   the donation of a dedicated VM with good bandwidth/uptime?

Whoever already knows how to do this could configure it.

In trying to answer the above question I found this long email thread from
1.5 years ago.  Duncan said the following:

Are there any updates to this in the last year?  Is anybody running a
mirror?

The other reason I've been thinking about this is the scoutess project.
 More public testing or continuous integration facilities would require
more hardware resources.
