Re: About RawGit, and possible replacements

Antonio,
Can the sys team provide any information about why it is recommending Staticaly? I'm not familiar with that one and am interested in what criteria the sys team used in arriving at the determination. I don't have any preference, but it seems relevant.

Thanks,
AWK

    Staff, chairs, spec-prod,
    
    as you may know, the free online service RawGit is
    discontinued, and will stop working for all URLs next year [1].
    This was used by some groups to serve the drafts,
    documents and other assets that they were hosting on
    different repositories and branches on GitHub.
    
    A few replacements have emerged lately, like
    HTML Preview [2], raw.githack.com [3] and Staticaly [4].
    They offer different features and levels of service.
    
    Among these, the Systems Team for now recommend
    Staticaly -- with the warning that it's just a suggestion that
    comes with no support or guarantee from us, as it is a
    third-party service that we do not control.
    
    We have reflected this on our documentation about GH
    usage and best practices [5].
    
    Talk to us (or, even better, submit an issue or a pull
    request) if you have questions, comments or ideas to
    contribute.
    
    Cheers,
