I'm one person who can/will if you point these out to me.

For people that don't know, most of the pages on the website are
editable. The most important pages (like the front-page which was one
of the issues here) are locked and those changes will have to be made
by someone with permission. You can just ask in #ubuntu-devel and
someone should be able to help.

In terms of the desktop-only meme, people should keep their eyes out
for this text and try to squash it where you can and point it out to
me or others when they can't.

Regards,
Mako
