I'm very happy that you decided to release your code as free software :)
Your site looks fine (definitely above par) but there's one issue: wp-mirror isn't part of GNU project which means that you are copyright holder, not FSF. I think you should fix copyright notice at bottom of project website.

Regards,
Tomasz

Dear Tomasz,

Thank you very much for approving the wp-mirror project.

I put up a project page <http://www.nongnu.org/wp-mirror/>, posted the corrected tarball, and created some mailing lists.

Please let me know if everything is all right.  This is my first time releasing free software, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely Yours,
Kent

Hi!

There's few minor issues with your tarball:

1. I think that "gpl-3.0.txt" should be renamed to "COPYING", it's not required, but it's strongly recommended. It's widely accepted standard.

2. GPL header should be top comment in your source code.

Anyway, I'm approving your project. Happy hacking and merry Christmas! :)

Description:

Topic:  WP-MIRROR is a utility for building mirrors of Wikipedia.  The Wikimedia Foundation offers wikipedias in nearly 300 languages.  For those who wish to have off-line access to one or more wikipedias must currently use KIWIX.  KIWIX however provides only a selection of articles and image thumbnails. 
What is special about it:  WP-MIRROR builds a complete mirror with full size image files, and sets up a virtual host for local browsing.  WP-MIRROR is designed for robustness, and copes well with bad pages and bad images that cause existing utilities to crash.  WP-MIRROR displays progress using gui, screen, or text.  WP-MIRROR maintains state using InnoDB (the ACID compliant transactional database storage engine for MySQL). Therefore multiple instances of WP-MIRROR can run concurrently without error.
Purpose:  1) privacy (download the entire wiki so that ISP and governments do not track browsing). 2) English as a Second Language (ESL).  Those learning ESL would benefit by having a mirror of simple-english side-by-side with their own language. The Simple English wikipedia requires only 40G. 3) Mobility (one can travel out of wireless range), and 4) Availability (ISP can go down during exam season).
Programming language:  most of the code is written in Common Lisp (clisp is a dependency).  Small amounts of code are written using BASH, MAKE, and PHP.


Other Software Required:

clisp gplv2(or later) "copyright"
mediawiki gplv2 "copyright"
mysql gplv2 or Artistic License "copyright"
GraphicsMagick MIT license "copyright"
cURL permission to use,copy,modify,distribute "copyright"
bzip2 permission to use,copy,modify,distribute "copyright"
