[Biopython-dev] Experimenting with migrating wiki to GitHub pages

[João Rodrigues]

We've been using our site as a "blog". It's extremely easy. Each commit is
a change to the website, e.g. a new page, new content, changing an image,
etc. Hosting on GitHub also makes it easy for everybody to make changes:
fork, change, pull request.
