The Gene-Server staff...me and a graduate student who helps out --
peruse all the other sites once a month and pull over whatever we
don't already have. There have been problems getting to nic.funet.fi
since we started this in November so the coverage there is not complete.
I will try to keep track of who has what and put send the appropriate
file(s) to the sites that don't have them. I guess I will be the
intermittent coordinator...

Can't speak for the others, but once a month we check out the other
sites and compile lists of what to get (and now will list what to
send) so there should not be more than a two week lag...depending on
network connections, of course.
I've been pretty good (not great, though) about sending things out
when they appear in my anonymous FTP area or e-mail box.
