Comment (by azaozz):

 @melchoyce the mockups look great! Starting on them. One problem we may
 have is copying only the suggested text without the tutorial bits. The
 browsers have bigger limitations when copying text programmatically (for
 security purposes). It may not be trivial to bypass some of the text.

 @allendav by SELECT you mean a (standard) drop-down or the TOC (table of
 content) at the top-right? A drop-down is usually pretty bad idea for
 navigation, same as accordions. It's not only bad for accessibility but
 hides most of the content and disorients the user.

 If you mean to extend the TOC by listing the plugin names, sure, thinking
 that is a great idea. Going to make it that way, also perhaps add
 highlighting to new and deleted items with in the TOC.

 Yeah, I wasn't expecting this text to be so long either. We were talking
 about "translating" this into more understandable and most importantly
 **readable** piece of content. Unfortunately it seems we can't do that.
 The needed privacy policy and the suggested privacy policy content turned
 out to be very long.

 I'm frankly not sure how many people will ever read these policies.
 Probably yet another completely futile content that websites are required
 to have, just like all the cookies warnings popups you can see everywhere
 :(
