OK, my current thoughts on CD image mirrors are that they should be laid
out as the current 2.2 CDs are, but that we might as well dump the
potato_test stuff, so we end up with:
some.mirror.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/alpha/MD5SUMS
some.mirror.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/alpha/debian-30r0-alpha-binary-1.iso
...
some.mirror.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/arm
...
some.mirror.org/debian-cd/3.0_r0/source/debian-30r0-source-1.iso
so the image names are now longer (and match what jigdo produces), but
otherwise pretty unsurprising.
Note that the jigdo files have "src" in their names at present
(woody-src-1.jigdo). I could fix that if it upsets people, because it
does introduce special cases into scripts, but I probably ought have
thought of that before, so we might already be too late. Sorry.

Fair enough, I like the debian-jigdo name. I wish you'd mentioned that
before all the URLs had been fixed as jigdo-area. :-/
OK, for rsync on cdimage.d.o, the thing to mirror is "debian-jigdo".
I'll sort out the http url's to match that for 3.0_r1, if it's possible
to do painlessly, which I think it will be.

'Tis done. Comments, improvements on the text are welcome --- it is
available as rsync://cdimage.debian.org/debian-jigdo/README.txt
Cheers, Phil.
