[ros-users] request for help: mirroring and better wiki exporting

[Benjamin Cohen]

The ROS docs part of the penn mirror is now setup and the script is still
downloading the docs api part of the wiki. It should be done in a couple of
hours.

Our mirror can be found at www.pennros.org.

I updated the mirrors page (http://www.ros.org/wiki/Mirrors) accordingly.
