r3697 #. Make sure that the released version of the docs is live on the site. For
this we are now using the gh-pages system:
- Make a static directory for the final copy of the release docs.
- Update the :file:`index.rst` file and run :file:`build_index.py` to update

- Run ``git push`` to update the public version of the docs on gh-pages.
