I believe Redmine would cover it all with presentaion, bug tracker,
forum, download site, wiki and more. The easiest way might be to keep it at
github and set up a wiki and project page at the ranger site there. I find
github very convenient with these features. I am into the same process for
vimoutliner in short time actually, and we chose github. 

The Arch Linux thread should kept as it is, I think, it has a load of great
info.
