We can have a central repository if wanted. I'm not sure whether 
sourceforge can host arch, although I know other similar services can.

That can be addressed by archive mirrors and there will be the 
releases anyway.

Does it at present? In the last year or so, I've seen ldapKoha, 
rssKoha, one with a Z server in it, one with the start of some XML

about pointing back to the main releases.
