Day 1 is almost over,
We worked on two elements so far: the mirroring thing, and the terminology one
these are early drafts,

I think we should also investigate how other repositories like CPAN or the Ruby world deals with mirroring.
or rather linux

A notification mechanism appears fragile to me. I believe that the mirrors should remain "dumb" in order to keep the complete system simple and solid -`
Well at some point you need a protocol, otherwise your mirror is this "dumb" thing we cannot garantee to be a reliable thing.
less moving parts are better than more. I really have a bad feeling about the approach as described in your PEP.
well, I think we need more than a rsync script at some point.
The question is if you want a push or pull mechanism. z3c.pypimirror implements the pull implementation and performs an incremental update in the sense of rsync in a reliable way.
