Once the site is back up we should look at migrating to a better (hosted)
infrastructure. 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.


No matter where we go, we can likely reduce the endpoint bandwidth
requirements substantially by putting something like cloudflare's free tier
in front. That doesn't help for the actual disk size though of course...
