Release TODO

[Tom Davies]

Hi :)
I quite like the footer being consistent across almost all pages.  if it suddenly changed radically on the Legal page then it might freak me out a little for a moment.  It's would be unusual to see such attention to detail on a website.  I don't really mind though
Regards from 
Tom :)

I am unable to open the attached document.

Actually, there are about 4 or 5 files on help.ubuntu.com that are
not slave to the upstream projects. The legal.html file is one such file,
as are the various higher level index.html files. Therefore it would be
trivial to change the legal.html footer, if that is what is decided is
required. The footer would not be overwritten by the compile time footer
stuff. If you look closely, you will realize that footer didn't change
during the footer update of mid May (which is my mistake).

As for the link looping back on itself, but in all other respects being
consistent across all pages, myself I don't have a problem with it.
However, I'll defer to what the group wants. Let me know, as I will
probably fix my missed footer change (also missed in contributers.html)
in the day or two.
