Hi! Thanks a lot for this beginning!
A detail: as explained in [1] the installation/configuration instructions should remains in the Extension: page. So I think that "Setup and software requirements" and "Custom namespaces setup" sections should be moved to the extension page. I have already merged the first one and the second one contains obsolete informations (the namespaces configuration should be done using $wgProofreadPageNamespaceIds as explained in [2]).
