Re: proposal: move Kawa web-site to kawa-lang.org

[Andrea Bernardini <andrebask at gmail dot com>]

Hi Per,
Changing the kawa-lang.org seems sensible. Another easy way to host a
static site is the github Pages service. I used that when proposing
changes to the Kawa website
(https://andrebask.github.io/kawa-website/).

Cheers,
Andrea
