I just wanted to give everyone a heads up - I'm working on moving the website 
source code from svn to git (finally!).

New website repo location will be - https://github.com/apache/libcloud-site/ 
(https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/libcloud-site.git).

ASF website publishing infra does support building the website automatically on 
push using jekyll, but that doesn't seem to work with our repo.

I didn't dig in too much, but I assume it's likely related to old jekyll 
version + extensions we depend on. That means that for the time being, we still 
need to build the website locally before pushing it to the repo.

I will let everyone know when it's fully set up and working.

I still need to do the following:

- [ ] Update readme with how to contribute website changes (info on how to 
utilize staging branch, how to generate the website, etc.)
- [ ] Add Dockerfile used for generating the website (since sadly we still rely 
on ancient version of jekyll and Ruby which is a pain to install without rvm, 
etc.)
- [ ] Update actual website and add information about the new website repository
