Hi Jon,

Just in case it's not clear, the svn for that page is part of the  
llvmCore project. Specifically,

https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk/docs/GettingStarted.html

Thanks for offering to help with the documentation. Making things  
clearer for new users is always a good thing.

Regards,
   Jim
