re: docs hg repos and static HTTP hosting

* I can't remember what the GitHub Pages CDN cache time is
* Does BitBucket support more than one pages repo?
* Does <service X> support Sphinx .. index and :ref: syntax extensions?

* https://github.com/yoloseem/awesome-sphinxdoc
* https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org ("hostthedocs")
* http://conf.writethedocs.org/
* https://docs.python.org/devguide/documenting.html
