The former, as the CzeBKR as it currently stands is faulty 
(using the first edition text for the New Testament).

It has been exported to ODT by the Wikisource page itself.

Meaning, I AM working on the WikiSource text (or there is some 
serious bug in their software, but I’d bet it’s better than what 
we have).

But see below ... I will drop ODT efforts alltogether. It is not 
worthy.

I hoped for the OSIS OpenOffice filter to work. Apparently, it 
doesn’t.

You are right. It really was easy

I understand that you insist to having everything under the
control and in secrecy (why would y'all otherwise hide 
maintainers, and also see the recent discussion on SVN v. DVCS), 
but I don’t think it is the best way how to encourage community 
collaboration. But that’s your choice (or rather, choice of 
everybody behind the project).

Sorry, you are right. I will.
