I suspect that Github Pages won't work, we'll exceed or be close to exceeding both the 1 GB site size limit and the 100 GB/month bandwidth limit [1]. Rough bandwidth estimate (using page size from http://scipy.github.io/devdocs/ and Alexa stats): 2 million visits per month, 2.5 page views per visit, 5 kb/page = 25 GB/month (html). Add to that pdf docs, which are ~20 MB in size: if only a small fraction of visitors download those, we'll be at >100 GB. Ralf [1] https://help.github.com/articles/what-is-github-pages/#usage-limits
