This paragraph, well really run-on sentence, really reads like an old text based RPG. "You enter the room. On your left you find a piece of software." Since we're editing it anyway, let's try to improve it a bit while we're at it. How about something more like:

While there are thousands of packages in the Ubuntu archive, there are still a lot we haven't gotten to yet. If there is an exciting new piece of software that you feel needs wider exposure, maybe you want to try your hand at creating a package for Ubuntu or a PPA. This guide will take you through the steps of packaging new software.

That sounds a lot better. :-)

re-use Andrew's suggestion

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

The only thing I changed was the mention of "we". For some reason it sounded a bit like exclusive to my ears.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Sounds good?

[Andrew Starr-Bochicchio (andrewsomething)]

Yup. Thanks Daniel.
