[Qgis-community-team] Moving the install instructions to a more sexy, visible, coherent and translatable page in qgis.org

[DelazJ]

 Hi,

Currently, when someone is looking for steps to compile a QGIS release,
he'll will find them in the QGIS repo [0]

I personally don't like that page and from a non-english speaker and
non-developer looking for a howto, I didn't like it not being translated.
And there are pages from the translated website that directly link to this
page (leaving a fully translated page to a specialized page totally in
english from within the QGIS project doesn't really sound good to me).

Then, reading the introduction of this notice, you'll find assertions such
as:
- "You can download this document as part of the QGIS 'User and
Installation Guide' in HTML and PDF format via http://qgis.org."
- "Translations of this document can also be downloaded at the
documentation area of the QGIS project at http://qgis.org."
AFAICS, this text is available nowhere in the manuals and there's no
translated version.

SO, does it make sense to move it to somewhere like
http://www.qgis.org/en/site/getinvolved/development/index.html?
It'll complete all other chapters on development matters, will be more
visible, sexy and translatable.

The issues I can't figure out how they can be solved are:
- what will be the status of the current page, in the QGIS repo?
- how will update be managed?

Comments are welcome. I'd have loved to show you this chapter in context
but I'm unable to build the website [1] so you may need to review the PR
#343 [2](I've RSTed the text)
