I'm ok with both, but personally think docs is better, because
compilation instructions are docs, and not website :-)
But I agree with your points too.

Next docs release is when doc writers decide it is enough :-)
At that time I branch a new '2.14' and create the translation files and
push them to transifex.
Maybe try to finish after Girona? Ask as much people as possible to
help, pick the 'most important' issues first, and then just call it a
day (leave the other issues open)?
