L.S.

See message below.  I guess this sort of defeats calling it a mirror?  
TLDP exists principally because of iBilbio.  I'd say make an HTML page 
with a link to the sponsor of the mirror and a link to TLDP, but what 
should the official answer be here?

Tille.

Subject: Mirror Sponsoring

Hi,

What about that LDP Site Sponsor Logo at the bottom of the
starting page. Can it be modified to reflect the actual sponsor
of this mirror?

Regards,
Othmar, maintainer of the www.ldp.at mirror

Perhaps two logos? One pointing to iBiblio as the LDP's primary sponsor, 
and the other pointing to the sponsor for that mirror. iBiblio deserves 
major recognition for their role. But having run a Red Hat mirror myself 
previously, I think the people who are donating hardware, space, and 
bandwidth to be a local LDP mirror also deserve to be thanked... it's 
costing them time and money, and if we can say "thanks" that way then we've 
done a Good Thing [tm].

Cheers,

i think the ibiblio logo is just on the front page of
ldp.org . the mirror site owners have an option of
replace the logo with their own logo and link. a
simple few line script, called from the crontab can do
the trick.

We've been asked about this situation (replacing the logo/link) 
before, and this is the reply I've always given them (mirror owners).

Which is "this"?  The lines above marked with > >, or did you forget 
something?  Thanks for clearing this out, I just want to be sure.
