Aren't there a large number of these servers up already? As well intended as 
this idea is, is it really going to be of any help? My fear is that we'll get 
hand-me-down information at best(or manipulated data, even), none of which 
would be of much/any good to anyone.  Maybe instead of creating a new site of 
our own from scratch we could mirror one of the more 'official' sites 
available?

Hope I don't sound too pessimistic...
