I'm just worried about complaints I've gotten from the SF sysadmins. 
The scripts I use to update the website itself seem to hang 
frequently--the CVS request never quits. This is obviously something 
I'd like to work out before we put new things in the repository!

Of course if someone knows how you could do some sort of 
timeout/alarm in the update script, that would solve the problem. I 
could even stick the mirror scripts as examples on the website.
