The about page is very empty #226

There is the old issue #112 about this page, but it is closed and have been inactive for 4 years now. And it looks like changes like this one db43bc4c have not been applied or got reverted in some way (IMHO "give feedback" is still misleading and understood as being about Blender and not the website)? Anyway, I think the current About page could be enhanced

As of today, this page contains very little information useful to the user. Having two lines about the site is nice, but I would expect a few things:

Keep the footer elements we already have on other pages (see red frame on screenshot) or better: make them even more prominent. IMHO this kind of pages is dedicated to such info, so it should not be relayed to a small footer.
Maybe add more info about how to use the site globally. I'd find it convenient to have a guide for the supported markdown, and why not some global guidelines about how to post, what's globally accepted, mindset expected, ...
Why not a mention Dillo's current version and release notes?
