I do not know, what the ressources are, but there are other very small projects who are doing so. I hope that you are not annoyed by what I am writing. I just try to understand the issue. And the interest in the community is *really* great. Users are happy to see that the development is going that fast and programmers have so many ideas what could be done...

Folks,

Howard Butler (OSGeo SAC Chair) has experience setting up SVN mirrors which
is apparently not too hard.  If performance degredation is the main issue,
having a read-only svn mirror at OSGeo could potentially be a solution.  It
would add only one extra "draw" on the central system, but could feed a read
only copy of the system to anyone interested in tracking the development
version closely.

Let me or Howard know if assistance is desired in this regard.

Best regards,
