You need to edit more/getting_started/*.rst.

It's not in my control. But it certainly shouldn't be updated from 
trunk, since that documents trunk and not the current release. That 
would prevent updating it for any new changes that don't apply to 1.35.

I suppose we could update the site documentation from the release 
branch, if that is considered acceptable by the release manager. 
Although that could end up with the situation we had before when there 
were basically three different versions of the website - one in trunk, 
one in release, and one online. These were often out of sync and a pain 
to merge. The new website organisation wasn't designed out of malice.
