At this point, there is no documentation, since we have just finished
deploying MirrorBrain to manage the mirroring effot. However, it is
absolutely not complicated if you are familiar with rsync, crontab and
apache configuration.

Basically there are 4 things to do :
1) ask us if your mirror offer fills a need
2) configure rsync to pull from the main mirror (your IP has to be
whitelisted beforehands)
3) allow access to these files and listing of the directories (Options
+Indexes in Apache)
4) let us know the URL to access to the files, so we can add it to the
list
