A related thought here: are we aware of GitHub site hosting?  AFAICT
d-p-l.org doesn't use it, so I guess the repo is being pulled to another
server?  As the content is (I think?) entirely static, GH hosting would be
easier, more maintainable, and cheaper.  And no out-of-sync issues -- I saw
a thread today with someone complaining the site hadn't been pulled from GH
...

For the main site: while I've not used it, I hear GH's inbuilt support for
Jekyll <https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll>, a static site generator, is
great.  It's pretty well
recognized<https://github.com/mojombo/jekyll/wiki/sites>,
completely customizable, and I suspect well within our requirements.  Some
examples of sites built on it:

http://joelbradbury.net/
http://domain51.com/
http://jimeh.me/
http://neilang.com/

Of course, we don't have to use Jekyll, and can roll our own static site.
