you will need to create a script and run it as a cronjob.
there will be 2 scripts, 1 on the main site and 1 on the mirror.
the main site script will tarball + gzip the wiki files and export the mysql database (if it uses one) with drop tables turned on.
the 2nd script will be on the mirror, and run as a cronjob.
this will download the tarball + database dump, delete the local copy of the wiki (except mabey config) and just unpack the tarball.
also, google is mentioning rsync, but i dont know if thats on webservers by default

I started describing callback so in a few days it'll be done as I have little time to do it at once.

I've got an idea. Many users ask for callback documentation from time to time. Maybe we should put a link to it somewhere in visible place.

@WIKI :
I've just rendered some images for the basic joint types and made a new page
here. If you find some or one of the images to be wrong, please let me know! I'll also add content to that page.
And
here is one great Extension for all Firefox-users, that integrates Wiki-Editing-Options into the context menu of wiki-edits and memos. See this shot for what I mean (I found it very usefull) :

That firefox extention is great! I use both IE and FF interchangable, so I guess I will need to use FF for WIKIs now
Thanks!
The joints tutorial looks great, but the images are a little unclear. I would make the "Newton Game Dynamics" logo much smaller and place it as a small overlay on the image rather than being a 3D entity. Also, I suggest you use a boolean operator on the semi-transparent cylinders and spheres so that the interpenitration isn't apprent (this interpenitration is clearest on in the universal joint image).
As for the mirror: It is going to be particuarly tricky to mirror a WIKI because the database must remain synced. I would just try to find better hosting rather than attempt to maintain a bi-directional mirroring system...

thanks for the links! i use Firefox as my main browser, that's a great extension!
I like the joint renders a lot too! looks like the wiki is going to be a success!

I finished describing callback that I'm using or know their purposes well. Please describe other callbacks as I'm not using them, therefore I'm not quitesure how they could be used.
