From: John Haugabook <[email protected]> This patch adds the section about reproducing the site locally in section 3 as this seems most relevant to the resource section of the faq. The question is "What if I want to contribute to the website; how do I reproduce the site locally?", and the answer is a brief outline of the essentials on running the site locally, but with no expansion on the details, or how to get the doc/preview html files.
