[GeoJSON] users list needs help.

[Tim Schaub]

Here's the repo for static content:
https://github.com/GeoJSONWG/geojsonwg.github.io

This is currently rendered at http://geojsonwg.github.io/.

If we want that at http://geojson.org/ (that's my vote), the owner of the
domain should add an A Record pointing to 204.232.175.78 and we can add a
CNAME file to the repo (more here:
https://help.github.com/articles/setting-up-a-custom-domain-with-pages).

I'm happy to move the spec to that repo.  We can also add a users page with
content drawn from the old wiki.

The master branch of the geojsonwg.github.io repo would then contain
everything we want to have at http://geojson.org/.  Any other repos under
the same org with a gh-pages branch will get rendered under a path like the
repo name (e.g. http://geojsonwg.github.io/draft-geojson/draft.html).

If we want to have the spec in a different repo, we could have a build step
for putting the content in the geojsonwg.github.io repository.  My
preference would just be to reformat it as markdown, name it geojson-spec.md,
and put it in the geojsonwg.github.io repo.  That way we'd get the spec at
the current URL (http://geojson.org/geojson-spec.html) if we point the A
Record to GitHub.
