Ciao,

(un po' off topic per la lista)

Volevo segnalare questa richiesta di mirroring.

«Some day there may be systematic efforts to ensure that each article
and course is replicated in many copies—perhaps at least once on each
of the six inhabited continents. This would be a natural extension of
the mission of archiving that libraries undertake today. But it would
be premature to make formal plans for this now. It is sufficient for
now to resolve to make sure people have permission to do this
mirroring when they get around to it.»
—Richard M. Stallman, The Free Universal Encyclopedia and Learning Resource

Se lavorate per un'Università, ente, azienda o altro e potete fare
servizio di mirroring come si dice sotto, c'è un file da 34 TB che
contiene quasi tutte le immagini caricate su Wikimedia Commons
(http://commons.wikimedia.org) fino al 2013.

Pensate alla possibilità di mirrorare questo archivio.

Alternativamente, come singoli, potete aiutare scaricando i torrent di
alcune parti di queste immagini e condividendo.

Ciao,

C
