Bug Description

In the Ubuntu slideshow's new thanks.html, we make a big note of AskUbuntu. The attached screenshot shows askubuntu.com with a list of questions. That particular screenshot is almost entirely text, so it will be unhelpful (and obvious) after localization.

Same problem on Precise (but now it's in gethelp.html).

Please note that translators don't literally translate this slide, they rather adapt it to tell the user about the local community (where the user can obtain support in his language).
So, in other languages, this slide may (should) not talk about Ask Ubuntu at all.

So the current screenshot is no helping.
It could, for example, be a picture symbolising the Ubuntu community. Why not a group photo from the UDS?

Thanks for pointing out how that slide is translated, Nicolas. That is good
to know :)

In Beta 1, the last slide should be in the big text + background picture
style, with a stream of Twitter messages on the side. In Beta 2, that
Twitter thing will only appear in the English slideshow, so in translations
the slide will look something like the first slide.

It would be interesting to jazz up the last slide with a different pretty
background, or, indeed, perhaps a picture in the event the Twitter thing
doesn't appear. UDS-P group photo would be very cool, in my opinion.

Okay, Twitter thing is in. Otherwise the slide has the big background picture style, like the first slide, so no screenshot is ever shown. I'll call this fixed :)
