Andrew, I think there has been some misunderstanding. Comments below.

I'm not a designer and I know nothing about frontend development. The current "look" of the site is simply the default provided by RTD. I have neither the skills nor the interest in a new design and nobody else ever volunteered.

That was always the intention, as stated in the original Jira issue [1]. In fact, I've provided build instructions that can be used by INFRA. I wasn't aware of any ads, but then again that website is simply a proof of concept on my personal RTD account. > > So, where it is currently hosted at readthedocs.io, it is not a > suitable alternative to the CMS hosted thrift.apache.org site... which > still needs to be addressed.

Thanks for the link. I'm not familiar with this but if INFRA could create a thrift-website repo for us on Github I'd be happy to take a look. > > However, I think it would be much easier to set up a simple > jekyll-based site using the existing CMS content as a starting point. > It's really not hard to do that at all.

I'm more than happy to do it your way, especially if you think it'd be easier. My one concern is that the current CMS content isn't exactly great and my RTD version has improvements, but we can sort that later.
