> Can someone from WBEL post to the list the preferred method for setting
up a mirror of WBEL?

That would be helpful.  I run about 40 servers in production using WBEL 
too.  I run my own mirror and it is open to http traffic.
(See previous list-email about two-tiered mirroring scheme)

I am willing to do work, help, code, test, cheerlead, etc, on this 
project too.  I use WBEL extensively and I would like to give something 
back (money, time, bandwidth, whatever).  But there is no mechanism to 
do this.

This is a great, Great, GREAT project!!!  But the lack of a mechanism to 
contribute is frustrating.  I don't want to complain because the project 
is freely available, and all the hard work put into it has been great.  
I just want to help... 

just my 0.02 worth...
