It is possible to build documentation with Travis and host it with pages,
e.g:
https://gist.github.com/brenns10/f48e1021e8befd2221a2

But it still requires more effort than the single button click that
readthedocs
provides. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with hosting docs
there, and it's worth mentioning that readthedocs was a MOSS recipient.

Maybe if Mozilla wants to continue supporting them while simultaneously
getting rid of ads and using our own domains/branding, we could sign up
for a corporate account:
https://readthedocs.com/pricing/

I imagine it would be a lot cheaper than asking employees to spend time
figuring out how to host their docs with Github Pages (which is also a for-
profit company btw).
