OK, I understand this but the webpage mentioned your e-mail address.
Just a tip: why don't you utilize some CRM about this topic or open a new
forum for questions like this.

Agreed. That's why I wrote the second letter :-) I think I dealt with the
same problems like you when I didn't send the reminder (and I don't want
to bugging people with lots of work).
Anyway, I started to mirror CentOS.org but there was a hard disk problem
and it stopped me for a while. I just continoue it, soon.

I know. I could sell it anyway, I could create my own set I just wanted to
respect your work and give more back to the "workers".

Yes, I know it that's why I asked the requirements to be "official".
There's a good scheme worked out at Debian maybe CentOS could use it. Or
develop and use another scheme.
And that's why I thought about bring LLC-s into the developement. The
LLC-s are able to make contracts about what they are responsible for and
if they are not doing their work they will be thrown out from the site,
the "ring" etc.

Almost all the required packages are built by others :-) :-(
But I will try to find another work which doesn't require to be online all
the day as I travel a lot to custmers sometimes.
