My deployment scripts are also just fine for the moment (github.com/kalinchernev/kalinchern...) but I'll try to make use of your example :D

Yeah I found it kind of annoying that you can't serve a user or org site from a specific directory on master like you can with the docs folder on the project sites. Though once I got it set up with Travis, I did prefer that way since it keeps the built files separate from the source code.

I didn't know about that gh-pages node module, it looks pretty handy! Thanks for the links, I'll definitely check them out.
