We could include that in the infrastructure updates work we propose. I have already done some testing of hosting on GitHub pages:

https://timdocs.qgis.org/en/site/index.html <https://timdocs.qgis.org/en/site/index.html>

Basically pushing all the statically generated docs into a version controlled git repo: https://github.com/qgis/docs.qgis.org <https://github.com/qgis/docs.qgis.org>

And a prototype for putting the API into GitHub pages:

https://api.qgis.org <https://api.qgis.org/>

I think we can do the read the docs theme but update it to match colours etc to the current web site - I agree, modernising the theme would be good.

Regards

Tim
