I think I asked this before, how big would a new qgis3 vm need to be? My
read of the above is your want at least 18 GB and would probably need
closer to 40-50GB just for the future growth of the docs?

I see no reason we can't make a new vm to serve the content but someone
needs to specify the specs required. If it needs to be fast I can
actually have OSUOSL attach more disk space to the current QGIS VM and
we could then just remount it to the qgis3 vm when it's ready.

Also has QGIS considered readthedocs.org for hosting the docs? It's
something I put on the idea list, we could also in house use a similar
system to theirs I think,

Thanks,
