true, it is a small list of sites - but they do contain thousands of bundles

not at the moment, but I assume the OSGi Alliance could act as a central
point for collecting OBRs - they just need people to tell them the URLs

the remote OBR deployment goal is described in the Felix docs - you
just need some hosting service that lets you upload files (the bundle
artifacts and the OBR index) but these don't have to be on the same
server as you can refer to external, absolute bundle URLs from OBR

where do you publish your current project releases / artifacts?

as I mentioned before, I'm adding OBR support to Nexus - so if it's an
open-source project you could potentially deploy via Nexus and get
them listed in a public OBR automatically

alternatively perhaps we could setup a general OBR over at OPS4J
