I just asked John and Calum about where the help is going. John said
that for Natty, help will be presented as if it was an application, in
the application lens of the Dash, but in the longer term it should go
somewhere else. Neither John nor Calum knew where. But wherever it goes,
maybe "About Ubuntu" should follow the same trajectory.

I suggest including, in the Unity specification, a map of access points in 
Gnome 2 and the equivalent access points in Unity, to check that nothing else 
has been forgotten. This should cover small system tasks like:
* accessing the OS version
* accessing the OS help
* closing a program that has stopped responding (this has always been too hard 
in Gnome 2)
* connecting to a new server (present in Nautilus's "File" menu, but should it 
also be somewhere in the Files lens?)
* taking a screenshot.

But the access point is only half the issue. The other half is what
"About Ubuntu" should open -- the current help page, or something more
sophisticated.
