The primary benefit here is that you can visit github.com and use the
"pencil" in the upper right when viewing a .md file, to edit that specific
page. The preview displays it in "github flavored markdown", and the
Pelican process uses the exact same C library to render final html pages.
(the CSS will be different, of course) ... this provides a pretty simple
process for editing/previewing the httpd website.

ps. note that we also synchronize the git repo back/forth to
gitbox.apache.org and allow people to commit there, should they disagree
with establishing a GitHub account.
