In that case, I'll do something a little abnormal (sorry!). Here is a
revised list of new copy. I'm going to list the top five because I
consider them the most important, but we can snip this at any point
(and I'm happy going with the top three):

"Fast and full of new features, the latest version of Ubuntu makes
computing easier than ever. Here are just a few cool new things to
look out for…"

"Make the most of the web"
"Ubuntu includes Firefox, the web browser used by millions of people
around the world. And web applications you use frequently (like
Facebook or Gmail, for example) can be pinned to your desktop for
faster access, just like apps on your computer."

"Say goodbye to searching the web for new software. With Ubuntu
Software Center, you can find and install new apps with ease. Just
type in what you’re looking for, or explore categories such as
Science, Education and Games, alongside helpful reviews from other
users."

"The messaging menu gives you an eagle-eye view of incoming messages
from all applications and social networks. So you can see straight
away when there’s something new to read, regardless of how it
arrived."

"Check out <a href=\"http://askubuntu.com/\";>askubuntu.com</a> for
answers to all your Ubuntu questions. There’s a good chance your
question will have been answered already and, if not, you’ll find
thousands of volunteers eager to help. For more support options, go to
<a href=\"http://www.ubuntu.com/support\";>ubuntu.com/support</a>."

Some of these are quite similar to the original stuff, since the most
important changes also happen to be the ones that fix jargon and poor
wording.

I will excitedly merge whatever number of changes people are comfortable
with :)

Title:
  [UIFe] New copy for Ubuntu installer slideshow

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a freeze exception request for ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu. We are changing some copy for the Ubuntu slideshow. The changes are available with the merge request:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/quantal-ubuntu-copy/+merge/126337

  This will replace 13 strings that had previously been translated for
  12.04.

  The other visible changes for 12.10 — new screenshots and
  illustrations — will happen separately, because it is important we get
  these new strings in nice and quickly so they can be translated.
