Local Development

• Dropping Docker installation from local-charts install scripts, since docker isn't necessary to run the environment.
• Talk about a user interface more developed than the Makefile.
  • Suggested to mukunda at one point: https://github.com/helm/helm/blob/master/docs/plugins.md
• local-charts: Document Windows recommendations and notes
  • Looks like Phaebz has figured this out, or made a good start at least.
• [1] helm repository
• Helm 3.0?
  • There's a 3.0-alpha.1 - https://github.com/helm/helm/releases - any changes necessary?
