Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu
I am proposing that a set of 7 heavily edited slides for the slideshow be merged and released. The tone and points made remain similar, but the strings for those slides have been completely altered. (The beginning, end and Software Centre slides remain unchanged). It can be seen live at <http://www3.telus.net/northlight/dylan/ubiquity-slideshow-proposed/#controls>, so no need to download the source right away.
The lp:middle-tweaks branch contains the latest version of these changes.
Of course, this is all for a reason. The changes are in response to some feedback I have collected which suggested that the middle slides were rather 'incomplete' feeling. In response to that, I focused on adding a resolution for each slide that would stick nicely.
There are many small adjustments that I believe give this a more confident and consistent voice. While the word count has increased, I believe the goal of each slide is still streamlined, so it shouldn't effect comprehensibility (speak of the devil. What a word!) too much.
Naturally, since we are very frozen at this point, this needs the go-ahead. It would be nice to get this in before a release candidate since that is a point where we can expect many people to do clean installs and provide last-minute feedback which we could act upon if necessary.
I should mention that this change is not NEEDED. It is just something that would be nice. If it will be too difficult for a particular group, I would not mind pushing it to the side for Lucid Lynx.
I will be discussing this on relevant mailing lists shortly. At the moment, I have a completely unrelated paper to write. Adiós!
