 Nice work @shaunandrews! @melchoyce, please let me know how you'd like to
 proceed from here (if you still need assistance, etc.).

 > I took a try at a more approachable, one-column design for the 5.8 About
 page. I read through this ticket, the Google Doc, and some of the chatter
 on Slack and wrote some (hopefully) easy to read copy.
 >
 > The first few highlights each get a graphic; I imagine some of them
 would/could be a video or GIF.
 >
 > After the highlights are some additional features, but without any
 accompanying media.
 >
 > I then included both the Freedoms and Privacy sections directly in the
 page, rather than as separate tabs, with the link to view contributors at
 the top — after all, nothing else on the page would exist without them.
 >
 > Here's the Figma I've been working in:

 >
 > I'm happy to continue iterating, or to have someone else pick it up and
 run with it. I think the overall styling and typography could use some
 more time and care. It could be nice to incorporate some more "jazz" into
 the top bar and elsewhere.
