A GitHub (repo, issues, and sphinx docs/ and/or GH wiki) could also be
useful:

- gh-pages branch built from docs/ and nb/
  - .ipynb in notebooks/ or nb/
- https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage/ has packaging and
ReadTheDocs config
-
https://github.com/jupyter/docker-stacks/blob/master/scipy-notebook/Dockerfile
includes conda
