Hello,

The "Getting Started" chapter currently lacks an introductory paragraph explaining its scope.

This patch adds a brief introduction describing the topics covered in the chapter.

Patch attached.

I have not looked at the actual contents of the change but did you 
intend to add one or two paragraphs? You intent is a bit unclear since 
you have added a double newline within a <para> tag. If you intended two 
paragraphs it should be two <para> tags and if not there shouldn't be a 
double newline.

Have you set it up so you can render the documentation to HTML locally?

Andreas

Thanks for pointing that out. The intention was to add two paragraphs and
it is now corrected to use
two separate <para> tags. Attached is v2 of the patch.

I have verified that the docs build and render correctly in HTML locally.
