[Tim Foster]

Hi there,

Congrats on getting the mirrors setup - I'm sure they'll be useful!

Who owns opensolaris-center.net and why, when I visit
http://opensolaris-center.net, is it showing popular searches around
Finance, Entertainment, Travel, etc.?

The front page looks very generic, and nothing to do with opensolaris. I
can see you're using Yahoo! hosting, but fixing the front page I think
should be a priority.

If these are mirrors aimed at the Chinese market, then I would have
thought:

a) A domain name such as opensolaris-china.net would have been much more
appropriate (opensolaris-center.net ? Who gets to say that this Chinese
mirror is the "Centre of OpenSolaris" ?)


b) Maybe some translation on the front page would be worthwhile?

	cheeres,
