The first that came to my mind reading that is a github feature called
Pages[1]. In essence these are static sites hosted on github's
servers, optionally reachable via your own domain.
Though they are static, github supports dynamic content via a tool
called Jekyll. This probably means that after the initial setup one
can easily add a new rfc, change it's status, etc. with all related
pages updating automatically. I played around a bit with jekyll, but
stopped at simple, blog-like functionality.
Being hosted on github this probably means we can use the currect
authentication mechanism (checking for rfc/wiki karma) for this as
well.
