-## New API
-
-A simpler, [easier-to-use API](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/docs/api/)
-has been added to Open MCT. Changes in this
-API include a move away from a declarative system of JSON configuration files
-towards an imperative system based on function calls. Developers will be able
-to extend and build on Open MCT by making direct function calls to a public
-API. Open MCT is also being refactored to minimize the dependencies that using
-Open MCT imposes on developers, such as the current requirement to use
-AngularJS.
-
-We want Open MCT to be as easy to use, install, run, and develop for as
-possible, and your feedback will help us get there! Feedback can be provided via [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues), or by emailing us at [arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov](mailto:arc-dl-openmct@mail.nasa.gov).

 ## Building and Running Open MCT Locally
 
 Building and running Open MCT in your local dev environment is very easy. Be sure you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed, then follow the directions below. Need additional information? Check out the [Getting Started](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/) page on our website.

 our documentation.
 
-For a practical example of a telemetry adapter, see David Hudson's
-[Kerbal Space Program plugin](https://github.com/hudsonfoo/kerbal-openmct),
-which allows [Kerbal Space Program](https://kerbalspaceprogram.com) players
-to build and use displays for their own missions in Open MCT.

 Additional examples are available in the `examples` hierarchy of this
 repository; however, be aware that these examples are
 [not fully-documented](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/846), so
 the tutorials will likely serve as a better starting point.
 
-### Building the Open MCT Documentation Locally
-Open MCT's documentation is generated by an
-[npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)-based build.  It has additional dependencies that
-may not be available on every platform and thus is not covered in the standard
-npm install.  Ensure your system has [libcairo](http://cairographics.org/)
-installed and then run the following commands:
-
-* `npm install`
-* `npm install canvas nomnoml`
-* `npm run docs`
-
-Documentation will be generated in `target/docs`.
