Great job Mimi! This is waaay better! :)

I nit pick here and there:
- used Chandler Desktop consistently through the page so the reader can 
identify things easier
- used consistent punctuation
- compacted some statements
- fixed a bunch of puny layout issues
- used *bold* face for Chandler concepts only and only when introduced 
for the first time (instead of mix of concept, verbs...)

Now we're (almost) done with that (I left the *In Progress* line at the 
top intact, you may want to clean that up), I'm wondering what we should 
do with a "release note" (this is assigned to me 
https://bugzilla.osafoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9608). We talked 
about it without really converging on a decision. FYI, here's the list 
of sections that the FireFox 2.0 release notes 
(http://en.www.mozilla.com/en/firefox/2.0/releasenotes/) covers:

- What's New
- System Requirements
- Downloading
- Installing
- Uninstalling
- Extensions and Themes
- Known Issues
- Troubleshooting
- FAQ
- Contributed Builds
- Other Resources and Links

I think we have *all* of this in various pages we just edited *except* 
for a "What's New" page, the argument being that, pretty much everything 
is new so the Feature List should be enough...

... but not everything is that new. There are people who have been 
following us (though they might not be users). So, the question is: 
should we create such a release note page, which will basically contain 
only a "What's New" section (new wrt to Chandler Desktop 0.6) and a 
profusion of pointers for the rest?

I'd say "yes" but that's just my opinion.

Cheers,
- Philippe
