How is our website serving us?
I'm wondering if paying for the website is beneficial.
We could be using librecad.github.io for free.
At least we could be using it as a mirror,
and it would allow people to submit pull requests if they wanted to contribute.

It's serving us great :D

our main website (librecad.org) is a java based CMS ran on Linode.

We also have our translation server (translate.librecad.org) running on this host and our wordpress blog (blog.librecad.org).

I'm wondering is paying for the website is beneficial.

Yes other whise I don't think we would have a website, a blog and the translation server at all.

We could be using librecad.github.io for free.

But how do we run the website (as I like it... since I have to support it)

I don't know how the custom domain works, if they provide a VM that we can use with root access, I am willing to consider.

At least we could be using it as a mirror,

and it would allow people to submit pull requests if they wanted to contribute.

I don't see the point, can you explain how this would be beneficial?

As far as I understand, a github.io subdomain that just redirects to a real domain (from https://help.github.com/articles/about-custom-domains-for-github-pages-sites/)

so there is nothing that github really hosts, unless I am wrong..

It makes the project more open, and adds another way for people to contribute.
I'm just getting ideas out of my head... ;-]

You mean they can send pull request for a website update?

If so, do you know what projects uses this method?

Actually I don't know if it's possible for an "organization page"... I was assuming. >_<

I see that jekyll uses a "project page", which is the gh-pages branch.
