[SeasonOfDocs] Website for TheGoodDocsProject

[Kyle Lobo]

I personally feel like we won't be needing comments, forms (Google forms
ftw), chatbots, survey results or video streaming. Also,
if we are planning to use a static hosting service such as GitHub pages,
I'd recommend we use something like Netlify instead of GitHub pages.

Regards,
Kyle
