Copying over data is not an issue (Loic suggests rsync), but the main
issue is, in my opinion, getting a second point to enter data. Not a
problem with email, a problem with CVS.

I heard that linuxdoc.org is having two or three CVS servers and you
could both download and upload to any of them. If there's interest, I
can ask about the technical solution they used. I am not in their
lists any more, but I may be able to get in touch with the right
people anyways.

Technically, this *is* a problem. If the original site is cleared by
US government, the automatical "rsync --delete" will vanish any
mirroring :)
