The method I chose is to simply use the wiki for editing and hosting and periodically extract code from this repository into the main repository just for the sake of graphical display and statistics. I indicate in the readme file that people should go to the wiki as it is intended to be used with the Gollum sidebar / footer features.
In the future, I would like to figure out how to push the main code into the gh-pages branch for use with GitHub pages, but so far I have not been able to get it to work. (Layouts available using the single-page editing feature appear to be unavailable for manual tapping.)
