Oh, thanks for the branch!

I made a spin on that which shortens the text (since the slide - and my
head - couldn't fit it all). I reduced the links by a level each to make
them easier to remember. I joined community and commercial support into
a single bullet point.

On another note, a Google search reveals that there are 917,000 pages
with the exact phrase "open and vibrant." (I think this justifies my
hatred of that phrase as an unbelievably meaningless cliché, applied to
everything from Initech to the moon). I pondered changing it to
"friendly and diverse," but 1,200,000 pages had the same idea. In the
end, I just changed it to "friendly", which I think makes the point just
fine. Feel free to suggest others, too :)

I'm also using this as the main base for some little formatting changes,
a tweak to the Welcome section and to maybe jam in-line images in place
of text descriptions of icons. (As discussed on the mailing list).
Feedback is invited.

One problem: "There is also commercial support available through Canonical, its partners and approved companies"
...Can we make that sentence shorter?

Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

At the moment the last page of the slideshow introduces the ubuntu forums as a support resource, but doesn't introduce any other support mechanisms. That's different to our usual policy of introducing all of the different support options without favouring any particular one (e.g. the front page of the help centre). I'd like to see all the support resources introduced.

Also, although the file is called documentation.html, it doesn't introduce the onboard documentation at all. That should be the first steps for users looking for answers as it allows them to help themselves.
