The files are now mostly mirrored.

It's now after midnight, local time, and I won't be around the rest of
the week, so I've gone ahead and activated the Release Notes,
Changelog, and Download pages:

http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-529-release-notes
http://kb.askmonty.org/en/mariadb-529-changelog
http://downloads.askmonty.org/mariadb/5.2.9

The Release Notes page is just a skeleton. It should probably be
updated with some details. The Changelog and Download pages are
complete.

Colin: Can you coordinate with the developers on any changes to the
Release Notes and then send out an announcement email once that page is
ready? I'll check my email periodically and once I see your announcement
email I will update the rss feed (that is, unless you want to do it).

Thanks.
