Hi Dag,

Days have passed and not much feedback to your (great btw!) plan. :-)

There are people out there who rely & could do a LOT for this project. I could help with providing some decent mirrors in various european countries (ro/de/uk) and even some web hosting, tho I have a feeling the mirrors won't be a problem.
As an end-user I'm looking forward to seeing a geo-enabled mirror service. :-)

Good luck!
