On IRC, I've asked for hints about how to get this back to the old commit triggered workflow on cube, but 
don't remember any replies. I'm pretty sure this can't be much work. 

The build time itself is less than 30 seconds, abigger tipic is to discuss what we want on the site.

Manually, unless this has changed since the last time I updated it?

This is why I recently asked mitch about resurrecting/creating at least one other virtual host for creative 
testing.

We need more discussion about some things, at least. Getting a 'Help, what is this going to achieve?' feeling 
for a new tutorial like thr most recent one isn't optimal, especially if it makes us postpone a site update.

I think we should start to have semi-regular meetings on IRC, logged and those logs published.
