Some editorial feedback:

 * I think the "Ubuntu is..." paragraph has a few too many clauses in it.
   I've split it into two sentences, and moved the support info into a
   separate paragraph (fixed)

 * The URLs for the release notes and tour should be indented like the others (fixed)

 * "Helping Shape Ubuntu" should specifically mention the upcoming developer
   summit and link to the information page (fixed)

 * It should explain that the release notes will contain important
   information, including caveats and workarounds for known issues (fixed)
