Cool, thanks for the branch!

I think your branch was based on devel (the branch we used to prepare
the next release) but was only modifying text that we already in master
(the branch that's live on the website). So I cherry-picked all your
commits onto master, added a bunch of tiny fixed on top, and pushed it live.

If you want to check my fixes you can review 09fa273..831e170.

To learn more about our base branch policy see

Also, I just wanted to make sure that you were conscious that whenever
we make changes to the content of the website that's translated already
we're breaking the translations (done using gettext). So personally I
try to be quite conservative when working on such sections. But of
course, fixing the original strings is also good for English readers and
future translations so there's a trade-off to find here which is not
always easy.

On the other hand some sections are not translated, like anything under
/contribute (the design documentation for example) and that can be
edited wildly, through it's probably not as visited and read as the rest
of the website.

If you're looking for more work these days, I'm working on the upcoming
documentation for Icedove in branch doc/7158-icedove. I'm quite short on
deadlines as this needs to be live by Tuesday (release of 1.7). But
until then I'll write quite some stuff there in case you want to have a
look.

I'll also prepare the release notes for 1.7, this will most likely
happen in testing directly.

By the way, do you have an account on Redmine? I could assign some stuff
to you for review there or you could watch some tickets, like #10452:
