pyjs.org repo :-)

The .github.com one was a stopgap until a better method was found ... that
report is moving to `pyjs-org` user account (the user that actually owns
the `pyjs` org); this puts the report out of sight and mind.

That's fair enough Peter -- this and your other statements -- we can hold
for a bit here; there is much else to be done.

Although, I am not particularly fond of that specific quote myself ... I
feel its necessary to uphold as professional an image as possible, even if
it means less "spice" and tastes a bit bland.  IMO, nothing beats crisp,
pure, simple and to-the-point information ... people come to discover,
learn, and seek the next steps ... most else is background noise.

Perhaps it would be good to produce/discuss some ideas for the future
site?  Functional requirements, visual layout, color schemes, experimental
ideas ... the works.
