There must be a business behind all this to take care of the funding and the daily operations.
There is infrastructure freely available for Open Source project hosting. Maybe the consortium has only to invest into using/accessing this infrastructure without paying a monthly bill for the use. Sven wrote:

So does that mean we can have an cloud (S3) based internet package cache for all mczs floating around that can be used as fallback and searched if the usual repos do not work? Thx T.

Yes. Apart from a small initial development cost (with an open source result, of course), the cost would be running an EC2 instance doing the syncing. Some of these repositories are huge (GBs) so there would also be some bandwidth and storge costs - but nothing unreasonable I think. After the initial setup the syncing should be incremental. Some code has to be added to MC to actually use the mirror, but I think that already exists. Sven
Do you have any excel-sheet style projection of the costs structure? I have asked my contacts for some support. 2012/7/4 Sven Van Caekenberghe <sven@beta9.be>
