What do you think this is for? You rsync to put your files up and the
whole world can access them via http. this is just VERY SIMPLE web page
hosting.

yes- and from what I've seen from git and hg there is no requirement of
their cgi to make them work. Just an http server, which we have.

Jesse,
 login to people.fedoraproject.org as yourself - you're in sysadmin-main
or web so you're covered by the folks currently allowed to login. make a
public_html dir in your home dir and then go to
jkeating.fedorapeople.org

I think you'll find it does what you need.
