Hi Mark!

That's great news - I'm sure many people will be happy to see the
build process documented and will appreciate your work doing this.

Before you get started on doing this work, please be aware that the
wiki is no longer used actively and will likely be removed in the
future.

You should instead make your contributions to the "developers guide" -
source is at https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/tree/release_2.18/source/docs/developers_guide.
