A official program to setup wikipedia mirrors would be nice. So that 
anybody can setup a read-only mirror of a wikipedia and become a 
official mirror when the follow some rules. The "edit this page" can 
point to the root-wikipedia, the real wikipedia.

It can spread the traffic and the expense of it for Wikimedia. And be 
faster also.
