This is not the issue (actually, Extras is mirrored by akamai). The issue is getting developers to use Extras. X-Fade has been putting a lot of work into ironing out the various complaints that have led developers into putting together their own individual repositories, so things are definitely looking up, though.

What, provide a list of repositories? We've had that for a long while on the maemo.org wiki (I still miss the giant Application Catalog wiki page that you'd check every few days to see if some developer had slipped in a brand new application complete with screenshots in the middle of the page ). The real issue is getting developers to use the maemo repositories (Extras and Extras-devel) so we wont even need to think about more than two.
