Hi,
Yeap, it would be great if you could have a look at this perl script which Roger mentioned.
I wanted to do this but my perl skils are ... not very good. I'm not a big perl fan ;).
You can find it here: https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/tree/update-mirrors.pl
Thanks, Carolin

I've noticed that the tor-mirrors.csv list has a lot of entries that are not working. Is there a need for volunteers to help maintain this list, or any other tasks? If so, I'm your guy!
Please get in touch if I can be of any assistance.
Yes please!
One hopefully simple way is to make a diff -u and attach it to a trac ticket.
The better way would be to do a git clone of the webwml repo, and put it on github or whatever your favorite git hoster is, and then make a branch with various changes, and then I can pull down your repo, look at the branches, and merge them.
I think fixing some bugs in the mirror checking script would be helpful too, if you want to go even further. For example, if you run the update-mirrors script, I think it rewrites every line for failed mirrors to be "number of hours away from UTC" hours later. That is, there's a time zone bug somewhere in the perl. I bet there are more too. :)
