[SeasonOfDocs] Website for TheGoodDocsProject

[Erin McKean]

Another -1 to a CMS or WordPress, mostly for security reasons. There's a
big risk of project orphaning with anything that needs more than a Github
account to access.

Slightly +1 to Netlify only because I would like to use the Docsy project
to create a site for the GDP. :) I set one up in <30 minutes as a demo two
weeks ago (and most of that time was figuring out Google-internal access
issues for my virtual dev env ...)

As for domain names -- can we do a .dev TLD? I see a lot of projects that
are dev-focused going that way, and it's a nice way to skirt the whole
.com/.org issue for OS projects. Full disclosure: Google runs .dev, I can
see if I can get the domain that way.

I am agnostic about whether we do WtD or stand-alone, I think there are
pros and cons either way, but in any case we could sub-project or mirror
the repo?

I apologize in advance as I am catching up on a number of GDP threads after
being out last week and so your inboxes might suddenly see a deluge of
input from me. :)
