Even ignoring the gaps (some understandable like the pipex.com-hosted 2.0 releases, some surprising like the 2.0pres), most of the files there have a much later timestamp than the originals, so it doesn't seem a terribly accurate historical archive. I feel that this sudden new announcement of download.koha.org's purpose is a bit odd. > [...] I'm also not interested in a debate > about whether or not anyone should or should not have access to > LibLime servers or whether or not LibLime should or should not host > download.koha.org. [...] Well, that's a bit of a change from "though LibLime does own koha.org, we'd look for the comunity to decide what would be suitable as far as content on the community site" (Joshua Ferraro, #koha, 2008-08-23). It seems pretty clear that the community would like empowerment of the community's release managers to manage releases on download.koha.org. I guess we could hold a poll if you'd like, but why cause the koha community that pain? > > Yes, I sort of agree with this. Having three 3.0.4s releases wasn't a > > good thing.
