We on the Google Code Search project (www.google.com/codesearch) want to improve the quality of our index, and as part of that, would like to systematically crawl the fedora git repositories of fedoraproject.org, which we consider one of the major hosts of open source. Our crawlers use bandwidth throttling that should ensure that we don't overstress your web servers.
1. Is it okay for you if we systematically crawl your git repositories for new source code?
2. How would you recommend we get the repository directories? Our current approach would be to get the git repositories of recently updated packages from this page: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?o=age.
3. Are there any particular times or actions we should _avoid_?
4. Is there any particular person we should talk to in the future?
An answer to these questions would be very helpful in improving the presence of Fedora code files in Code Search. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Pascal Minnerup
