Mirroring what?
Mirroring the website, no...I don't think that's needed.  The primary 
website is very accessible from virtually the entire world, and is very 
reliable, and for the few times there are maintenance issues, there are 
already a number of other mirrors.

Anoncvs or FTP/HTTP downloads?  YES...we can always use a GOOD 
distribution mirror.  You are talking LARGE amounts of bandwidth, if you 
have a meter on your bandwidth, you don't want to be doing this.  If you 
have to ask how much, don't.  If you do a good job, you will keep a 
100mbps link moderately busy.  If you do a bad job..well, we don't need 
someone doing a bad job.  You will max out many metered plans simply 
downloading snapshots, before anyone starts to pull from you.

Good = lots of bandwidth, high availability, plans for dealing with 
failed hw, you having personal need of an OpenBSD distribution/anoncsvs 
mirror (so you make sure it is staying current and running well).

If you think you meet all that, go ahead, set one up, let us know here 
when you have it running.
