This came up on IRC today, slightly edited version of the conversation follows: 

<rangi> back in about 1.2 days
<1angi> as part of the makefile 
<rangi> we had an option to 'register'
<rangi> magnuse/paul_p: maybe a button in the about page, register with the
koha community ?
<rangi> it could submit the about info, that way we could get info about
versions too
<rangi> would just need a webservice listening that it could post too
<rangi> maybe on koha-community.org
<rangi> and totally voluntary
<snail> does the generated HTML advertise the version? we could check
automagically for updates / statuses
<rangi> snail: yeah if they were out on the web, lots of special/corporate
libraries live on intranets
<magnuse> it's in the generator meta tag
<magnuse> <meta name="generator" content="Koha 3.0500001" /> <!-- leave this
for stats -->
<snail> dspace is switching to advertising versions in the generator tag too
<rangi> i think a button where we can encourage ppl to click on 
<rangi> is a good first step
<rangi> then we could extend it to periodically check
<rangi> maybe a checkbox
<rangi> some way to opt back out again
<rangi> ie to turn our checking off
<rangi> it could be a checkbox/syspref that just adds 'dont check' to the html,
and then they have to resubmit
<rangi> we need a student, its a perfect little project for a student, build a
db, an a script to populate it
<rangi> then add the button to koha
<rangi> you dont even need to know [K]oha to do it
