If we talk about angular.io website,
the blog indicates,
“We've rebuilt the site's infrastructure, architecture, and design using Angular under the hood. The site has the same content as before, but now the code and content live directly in the angular/angular repo under aio. “
This makeover is done to make the public contribution easier. The team is also planning to refactor the documentation pages to make it lot easier for contributors to give feedback and suggestions. There will be an inline link to "improve this doc" on every page. This link will take the users to GitHub so that they can suggest changes. Not only this, the website will work as an excellent example of usage of Angular in building robust applications.
