This will be frozen N days prior to release and static pages will be generated. This static content will be fedoraproject.org/ 2. the static content will get mirrored to a new set of mirrors in the world that we will recruit people into. These will be simple http-only mirrors. 3. fedoraproject.org can be globally load balanced using (more or less) dns round robin (more robust mechanisms are welcome) 4. we make the wiki server multiple and redundant by making use of multiple machines. So that would mean we get: 1. more capacity for the wiki server 2. global capacity for the front page and key pages for a release 3. network/site redundancy. -sv
