Well, if I was in charge, I think security should be a bit more front
and centre on the web page.  What I would do would be to add one
"Security" tab on the main Ubuntu web page, somewhere between
"Community" and "Support".  

From that new tab, I would point to a nice user friendly page which
would serve as a summary of various security-related information and
links.  I spent a few minutes tonight creating a wiki page, sort of a
first draft, of things that could possibly go on that possible security
page:
http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/UbuntuSecurity



Then your notice about Firefox 1.0.3 vs Hoary's 1.0.2 could go on that
security page as a note.  I would probably add a few more external links
in there, maybe some Linux security pages/tutorials, links to CERT and
their various mailing lists; that sort of thing.
