Yes, that's exactly what we want to establish. The first step will be 
internal-use-only server (we need to know how our hardware will behave 
and gain some experience with software) and then we plan to make the 
server public, like we did it in ClamAV mirror case. As we are using 
these services for our customers, we want to give something back to the 
community.

I see. We sure can live with it ;-)
