I don’t believe that Apache infra allows projects to change DNS. So you need to move your content onto quickstep.apache.org <http://quickstep.apache.org/>, not move the DNS record to point to your content. That isn’t too hard.
There are a few options[1], but I’m most familiar with svnpubsub and would recommend it, Basically you commit the contents of your web site into a subversion repository, and it immediately appears on Apache. Very straightforward. It’s entirely up to you how you author the contents of the site. You can do it manually, or use a maven site generator, or write your own generator. As I said, at Calcite we use Jekyll, so the effect is very similar to GitHub pages, and as a bonus it handles large generated content like javadoc or doxygen better. There is an Apache project which provides a template[2]. Give it a try.
