1. we planned to move the generated APIs to gh-pages
2. we planned to automate the package page generation
3. I proposed to try to use the github api

This was the test whether it is possible at all.

I already mentioned the master/stable issue in a mail before, also for 
gh-pages.

Besides the page works for any github organization, the only thing 
missing right now is autoproj to write the "information and more" to a 
json file that can be uploaded. Changing the parser of the page is a 
matter of minutes.


I also created the page for myself in order to have an overview on the 
issues of the packages, this could also be added to
