* You could grant others SSH access either as a full shell or a limited
shell that just did a git pull.
* It could be deployed to Amazon S3. I'm happy to set this up, grant
appropriate access to others and cover the hosting costs
* It could be deployed to Rackspace Cloudfiles.
* It could be deployed via github pages for free.
* A cron job could be used to check for updates to the git repo and git
pull on changes
* A hook could be configured to trigger a git pull.
