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

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.
