Re: [Jython-users] "Who uses Jython" page SNAFU

Right, we need to provide appropriate metadata on these pages so that
search engines ignore these archived pages.

To make it easier to do this switch, I'm going to suggest that we move to
using jython.github.io, as pointed to by a CNAME from jython.org, so we can
start building out our web pages in a way that's more compatible for
keeping content timely and relevant. Markdown and Jekyll look quite
reasonable to me, in terms of the supporting tooling provided by GitHub.
(And I could care less that any of it is powered by Ruby ;) But most
importantly this will allow us to take pull requests against the Jython web
site content; and maintain the news section using standard blogging.

We should also be able to move all Jython wiki information under the same
workflow, but that can be done incrementally. It will also depend somewhat
if we can mix reStructuredText and Markdown.

We recently went through the same migration process for an undergraduate
course that I'm teaching this spring (http://csci3155.cs.colorado.edu/),
and I found the transition to be reasonably smooth. The good thing is we
can get jython.github.io completed first before we make the CNAME
switchover.

Timing: if this seems like a good idea, we can start this process after we
complete 2.7.1 beta 3, hopefully in the next week; and have it switched
over in time for 2.7.1 final.
