Idee: Backup database for official apps

So I've managed to backup some of the official apps over the network to my computer.

How about setting up a download section for these apps somewhere on your servers? Along with a nice list that keeps track of the version number and release date so that user can check if they are still running the latest version of a particular app?

Thats a great idea, but its illegal to host these apps, so i doubt anyone wants to do it.

Oh, wasn't aware that hosting them is illegal as they are basically free to download - but makes sense of course.

How about adding a simple spreadsheet to the wiki, which users can edit when they detect an app update? Just to see if you're still up to date?

? apps updates automatically if user start it. (or do i miss something?)

Apps don't update automatically if you are using them in another region...
