[ZooLib-dev] The Great Firewall

[Michael D. C. <cra...@go...>]

It seems that sourceforge.net is blocked by China's national firewall.  I'm not 
at all clear why the government of China should care, but I know that Linux 
developers in mainland China have been finding it difficult to access source 
code on sourceforge.

I do have a mirror of some of ZooLib's stuff at http://www.goingware.com/zoolib/ 
  It's not a complete mirror, for example it doesn't have the CVS code, but I 
plan to redesign ZooLib's website in some manner and when I do I plan to make it 
easy for anyone to download a tarball of the website to run their own mirror. 
There could be some automated way to offer CVS snapshots from mirrors.

Andy, for the time being a workaround for this would be to also offer a link at 
http://www.zoolib.org/ that one can click on if the meta-refresh to the 
sourceforge site gets blocked.  It would also help to slow down the meta refresh 
to maybe 10 or 15 seconds so people have time to read about their options.

Ever Faithful,

Mike
