The KDE ftp server. Someone needs to ask the sysadmins...

I can do that...
Snapshots of the git repos it is, unless we want to do something more
monolithic...

PS: What should be the names of the tarballs? For some of the
comonents (for instance, the text-ui), the repo name is not the best
to use in the tarball. I would suggest to use the names that I used in
the debian packages (see [1]), but I'm open to other ideas...
