-===== New Mirror Management System =====
-// Possible Mentor: [[danbrown@php.net|Daniel P. Brown]] //
-Our existing management system for the network of official mirrors worldwide has a few issues and areas for improvement.  The present system is accessible via a browser-based web interface (using a php.net CVS account, and hosted on master.php.net), and provides the following services:
-  * Addition, deletion, and modification of DNS for official mirrors of the php.net site as a whole
-  * Automated checking of all mirrors, marking mirrors as "disabled" when issues are detected
-  * Listing of all mirrors presently configured with the system (active and otherwise)
-  * Manual disabling of mirrors
-  * Generic status display of the "health" of the mirror ("OK" or flagged)
-  * Ability to edit the mirror's display information within our list on php.net
-  * Automated mailing to the mirror's maintainer when an issue is detected
-  * Automated mailing of the status of all mirrors on a weekly basis
-Over time, some of the php.net mirror admins have discussed the need and/or desire to add new - or improve existing - functionality in this system.  This includes, but is not limited to:
-  * Improved mirror status checking
-  * The ability to keep logs of notes regarding the mirror over time, displaying the most recent on the summary page
-  * Simple graphing and statistics for uptime and PING response time
-  * A geo-IP lookup to ensure that the mirror IP address matches the physical region it serves
-  * An online "waiting list" application form (many potential donors currently contact the mailing list or Dan Brown directly)
-  * An online form to collect data from mirror maintainer applicants
-  * A form-to-mail interface to email individual maintainers, the mailing list, or all maintainers directly (for announcements)
-  * Number of interested donors on the "waiting list" under each country's heading
-  * Automated quarterly reminders to folks on the "waiting list" to update their status if they are no longer willing/able (?)
-  * System specifications on each individual mirror (?)
-  * A scoring system based on the system specs of the mirrors (?)
-  * Load-balancing based upon the score of the mirror when redirecting to a local mirror in the region (?)
-  * Automated daily reminder emails to mirror maintainer when mirror is out-of-sync > 24 hours (still auto-disabled) (?)
-  * .... etc.
