Get final merges in to Ubuntu Docs

[John Kim]

Hello, 

You guys have been really hard at work. The final sprint needs to work out. 

Yes, act on impulse is the fastest way to go. Too many factors to keep an ideal system. 

@Doug, what did you mean by proofreading? I have trouble understanding you're referring to the code or to the documentation text itself. How much time is left to continue reporting documentation bugs? I've been busy lately, so sorry about my lack of consistency. 

When was the freeze date happening? Today? In two days?

What sort of last minute, feasible action items need work now? Thanks.
