We do mirror most of our static binary content on a worldwide mirror
system. However, most of the TDE services are dynamic (GIT, Wiki, mailing
lists, searchable documentation, IRC, bugtracker, patch lists, etc.) and
therefore cannot (easily/safely) be mirrored.
Good idea though!

Nothing serious on this end fortunately. :-)
The ISP that services the TDE server cluster had a localized equipment
failure, but instead of trying to fix the outage they decided to blame
the
customer (me). This prolonged the outage significantly, even though in
the end it did turn out to be upstream ISP equipment failure.
I do apologize for the outage; as you are probably aware the TDE
services
can only utilize a single carrier due to the long-term contractual
expense
of bringing out a redundant service provider to the server location.

Have we approached any of the high-bandwidth Universities or OpenSource
outfits
to see if they would be willing to provide mirror services? I see so many
run-of-the-mill projects that have mirror services all over the world. It
sure
seems like a favorable project like TDE would be a prime candidate to be
accepted and helped by some of these institutions.
