I've pushed a basic working setup to the repo on Salsa, and it's visible at [0]
(if you ignore the SSL warnings; that's documented on the Wiki[1] and should
get fixed in the next month or so once Let's Encrypt wildcard certificates are
working).
As described in [2], the current setup is to keep a copy of the HTML in the
repository to save on CI resources, but we can always review that in future.
I haven't changed any of policy itself, so it still needs updating to reflect
the move to Salsa, which is more involved than I have time for, but hopefully
this will kickstart the process and motivate others to change it? :)

James
