It was important to me to at least offer my personal help with something that I 
think is important.
It may be that I find the technical things more difficult than they are, just 
some personal support never seems wrong to me.

By the way, I would like to make one more remark:
why am I apparently the only one who thinks that such technical contributions 
in kind should be appreciated similarly to donations? Would it not be the task 
of our PMC to discuss this question with the ASF?
What I mean is that it would be motivating for serverion.com, and possible 
future providers, if their support would be publicly acknowledged. 

We know exactly that we are almost completely dependent on Sourceforge, because 
beyond Sourceforge we have only one mirror (link I don't know at the moment) 
whose address is only given in case of emergency and with the hint not to 
spread the address too far so that the traffic doesn't get too high.
At OOo we had dozens of Mirrors in the past and why we do not care if one is 
offered to us I do not understand.


greetings,
Jörg
