What's the recommended way to make a Scala project available to the community?

Question

I am currently writing a configuration file library (sort of Configgy replacement). For the moment, it's alpha release and stays well on GitHub. However, when the project will be stable enough, I plan to make the resulting JAR file widely available.

On Ruby I used the central RubyGems repository for that purpose. However, I have no idea what's the equivalent. I was thinking about using a Maven repository, but which one? And how?

I am using SBT 0.7.7 and I have no experience with Maven.

To get the most usage, I'd publish it to a Maven repository. There's the Scala Tools repository at http://scala-tools.org/ and there's Maven Central at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html.

There's also Scala's sbaz: http://www.scala-lang.org/node/93, which is similar to Ruby's gem.
