Building and displaying is the last part of the project. Until yesterday,
there was no mention of MoinMoin syntax, so right now we are building and
deploying directly to a website. But this can be controlled. This is the
very reason we wanted active community support from starting, but that
didn't happen.

There was a length discussion regarding this on the list before. This is a
sort of conflicting interests thing. We want a new toolchain, but we don't
want to increase the overhead. We can move to Github only, but the initial
concern of Karsten was removing dependency on Github, providing an
alternate medium. Pagure is the lightest alternative to Github we can find.
It is light, and we will be hosting just docs repositories on it.

In future, if we SIG want their own docs repository , like Docker does, we
can move all the repositories of docs to this toolchain, since it provides
an alternative and better medium to contribute. Given this, the slight
overhead in infra of Pagure shouldn't be much problem, I guess.
