Move ACDD documentation to GitHub pages?

[MathewBiddle]

It would be cool if the documentation was moved to GitHub pages...

https://wiki.esipfed.org/Attribute_Convention_for_Data_Discovery_1-3

CF did this recently and I really like how they implemented versioning.

esipfed.github.io/acdd (content would go in an index.html file)

@DocOtak you mentioned this might not be difficult. What would the process be?

[MathewBiddle]

I gave it a stab

https://esipfed.github.io/acdd/

Source file: https://github.com/ESIPFed/acdd/blob/main/index.md

Yep, now you just need to get the content right. I usually do something other than Jekyll these day, with an explicit build process as a github action.

Some questions about where to publish. This repository is still under the ESIP organization. Is that good/bad what are the pros/cons?

Do we need an ACDD GitHub organization? What new requirements would that bring? Pros/Cons?

I like the idea of moving the documentation to GitHub pages. What about the other webpages related to ACDD that are hosted by ESIP? I got the list from here: https://wiki.esipfed.org/Category:Attribute_Conventions_Dataset_Discovery. Below I've crossed out URLs that redirect to others on the list below.
