Gitlab groups and publishing static web pages

[Marco Antoniotti]

Hi Erik

thanks for the explanation.  Let's say that I have a few complications in
mind about what a user like me would like to have from CLNET GitLab pages,
but we can discuss them later.

For the time being can we check what is happening with "with-contexts-site"
and why it is not deploying?  It looks like there is no "gitlab group".

All the best

Marco
