I've just finished and committed:
http://ooo-site.apache.org/download/archive.html

Thanks Marcus for taking care of preserving the archive and Raphael for providing it on the Apache servers too!

Two remarks:

1) You will see that the archive is missing old builds (i.e., < 2.3.0). They were removed from the archive "to save space". If space now allows, I can provide the older builds that had been removed from the archive (or at least a complete history of Italian stable versions). You wouldn't imagine how many people write me asking for OOo 1.x or early 2.x versions...

2) All the archived builds contain known security issues. At the very best, they are unsupported as far as security is concerned. I would thus propose the following patch for
http://ooo-site.apache.org/download/archive.html
(unfortunately, the mail clients and the list management software will likely reformat it, but it should be understandable and it's too tiny to be filed in BugZilla; however, if necessary, I'll post in BugZilla).
