I replied to Petr off-list previously.  We do have ftp.gnuplot.info just
fine, but you are correct that we do not have a staging location to sync
from.  We do have preprod.gnuplot.info, which David and Lars use for
mail and shell access (respectively, I believe).  I don't have any
problem giving accounts to others as necessary there, or we can use
sourceforge like we do for web.  In previous discussions I asked what we
wanted to do with it and no one seemed to be motivated to fix it; I'm
pleased that Petr is willing to take this on.

I think we might have gotten the mirroring working briefly before Lars
lost his access to the source, but maybe not.  At any rate, it's clearly
busted now due to lack of source data.  If you have a place you want me
to sync from, that's cool; if you want to use preprod, that's cool too. 
Just let me know what you want done.
