Thank you very much for your patch and comments, it's good to have some
extra eyeballs to spot my grammatical blunders :-)

I've added most of your changes to the document as it is in the Wiki,
which is where we keep it for easy development: 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu

from there a new version is exported to DocBook format for every
release, so another time you may just as well make your changes directly
into the wiki document. :-)

All of the people I've talked to pronounce it "Moe-too", so I figured
that it would a MOTU, so I haven't changed it as you suggested.

Hm. I fixed this already, strange that it didn't make it into the
shipped docs.

True. I've commented out that part (though it is still referred to on
the Participate page on Ubuntu.com

Cheers,
