There is a lot more details and information in Wikipedia (and at the links quoted there.) It says much of the Hebrew texts come from other sources such as “on your way” (which is frum). Some translations come from Urim Publishers (also frum) and the Talmud translations come from Rav Steinsaltz. The site itself is open source though and it seems anyone can contribute. I would think use it and proceed with caution and always cross reference and double check sources. Same can be even said about more reliable sources like Artscroll where many errors have been found (and fixed in later editions). Regarding work done on Shabbos, I would think enough time passed now that they could have gotten that work done during the week and it would be permitted to benefit from now… Though this isn’t like a pedestrian bridge, it’s Torah so I can understand avoiding it on principle.
