Tried to push to the new gitbox site last night for the 1.19.0 release and
ran into some issues. The gitpubsub hook was not setup so any changes to
calcite-site on gitbox are not reflected on the site. I pinged INFRA to get
this resolved.

I am going to push the changes to SVN as well to get the site updated.
