Well, I think official mirror list can be kept on our download page (almost all official mirrors have iso dirs anyway, those who don't - deserve removal :-P). It can be a table with the following row format:

mirror | FTP | HTTP | rsync | country ------------------------------------------------ mirror.domain.org | + | + | + | Country1 mir1.domain2.com | + | - | - | Country2

where mirror name should be a URL to the FTP (or HTTP if FTP does not exist) and those "+" (or some nice checkmark images) should be URLs of respective protocol.

And put a link to 'Unofficial mirrors' section on wiki page.

This way official mirrorlist will be clean and could be changed only by devs.

Won't it be nice if the mirror list is organised according to Continent/Country.. perhaps something like http://en.opensuse.org/Mirrors_Released_Version ? -- Vinay S Shastry http://vinayshastry.blogspot.com/ -- Roman Kyrylych (Роман Кирилич)
