that it was not possible to host such a documentation outside of
readme.io.
Do I understand it right, that not even the „sources“ of the documentation are on Github, but only maintained at
readme.io? If so, that would also be a no-go for me.
A similar approach is
https://readthedocs.org/, with the exception that the sources are still on Github and it is only the generated HTML that they host.
Some openHAB community member is using it to provide German documentation for openHAB:
Nonetheless, I decided against this approach for Eclipse SmartHome.
We have a Maven build, which assembles other sources (e.g. markdown files from within bundles as well as generated JavaDocs and runs Jekyll for generating HTML (in
https://github.com/eclipse/smarthome/tree/master/docs). The plan is to do this automatically on any change and push it to the website git repo; currently, this is still done manually.
We are quite happy with this approach and at least developer-centric contributors have no issue contributing the documentation through the regular git PR process.

If I recall correctly the main issue with that was, that it was not possible to host such a documentation outside of
readme.io. Also
readme.io seems to require a paid subscription in order to host documentation. If that is the case for all projects I am not sure that recommending this as a default platform for open source project documentation is good idea.
So maybe there is a way to use
readme.io, based on the same documentation content, in addition to something free (both in beer and speech).
Maybe someone with experience on
readme.io can explain this a bit better.
Cheers
Jens
