Comment (by iandunn):

 I'm all for incorporating feedback from site admins, but I don't think
 that's the sole factor. It's our responsibility to make sure that the tone
 is consistent with the values of the project.

 I don't think there's any reason to wait to improve the tone, it's
 independent of the content of the message. We can improve the tone now
 without hindering any future efforts to add or clarify legal requirements.
 In fact, improving the tone now will help provide guidance for the tone of
 any future copy, in addition to creating a more welcoming user experience.

 [attachment:"43933.3.diff"] does these things to address the issues
 described comment:1:

 1. Moves the current intro text into a new Help tab.
 1. Use @andreamiddleton's friendly intro sentence from comment:8 as the
 new intro text.
 1. Adds a "Learn More" link to the intro text, to draw the user's
 attention to the detailed text in the Help tab.
 1. Tweaks the language in help tab to be friendlier.

 The copy tweaks are just a start, I'm sure they need some refinement, but
 I'm curious to hear what everyone thinks. Screenshots of the new copy &
 help tab are attached above.
