+1 Besides, with a well-done CSS even just plain vanilla HTML can be made to look nice. I don't think it's a poor solution.

It used to be maintained in wiki software but security got to be too much of a hassle and it was moved to git. It uses markdown and a git hook serverside triggered by pushes to regen the site. wayland.freedesktop.org is even more basic - the whole site is just html files with a super simple wayland.css file. Much of the content is in the form of code and protocol documentation which is autogenerated from the source code anyway.
