Great job! This looks very good and easy on the eyes.

However, will the .qbk sources be made available? I'd like to add a
few things on the Windows MSVC build for 1.34 which you may have
missed. There will be issues like with just `using msvc ;' in the
user-config.jam file and other small details (like the compiler
warnings that will be produced and should be ignored, etc.).

I also like copy-editing documentation (had done this in high school
and was pretty much having fun -- a hobby of course, which I want to
be able to put into good use somday) and have a few things I'd like to
point out -- some unintended grammatical and typographical errors in a
few places -- and be able to change on my local copy before submitting
a patch to you.

Again, thanks and great job on the new getting started page!
