I know it is very confusing who is managing the site, and servers, 
because lately the website unfortunately involves many different servers 
(some with maybe one person with access only).  I will try to explain, 
and those seeing my mistakes can speak up:

- the mapserver.org server was moved recently by SAC, and is very locked 
down, "osgeo6" I believe (for an example of me trying to access the 
machine, see this ticket https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeo/ticket/1570)
- the website files are hosted on github, and the SAC server just checks 
out a clone for each update
- travis builds are also part of this process for the website, but that 
is also very locked down (general travis scripts can be used to generate 
builds, but only one person, whoever setup travis/mapserver, has full 
access to the travis account)

So, long story short, it is definitely a SAC ticket.

I'd like to see all this process documented, including how to access the 
osgeo6 server, the travis account, and interacting with our github.io 
instance (none of this is documented and shared).
