The additional information are great!

My main comment is "what do we mean by documentation?" Is it everything including the readme files, the website and also the docs? I think "Building documentation locally" should be the instructions on how to build the documentation (in the docs). Perhaps the title needs changing or we should split this into more sections. Like "Website" vs "Documentation i.e. the page Casper created. In this way it should be clearer.
