That is the end goal. I'm talking simply about the static webpage hosting here. If I recall correctly, I think the space limitations on github used to be a problem for us, which is why we haven't used it as the canonical web hosting. But that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. I was mostly hoping that anyone involved in the decision to not go with github's web hosting at the time could remember any other downsides. > That can be managed with the github tools, and > github/pypi can be used for downloads with a far simpler workflow than > the particular incarnation of UX hell that is sourceforge's upload > system...
