That looks at lot better.

I think we all still have issues over this paragraph:

>After checking in, you can install the beta preferably through your distribution package manager. If it is not provided there, the beta can be compiled from source. The KDE Community wiki has detailed instructions. When the beta is installed, you can log in and do informal or selected functional testing. Some 4.9 beta applications can be built stand-alone within your KDE 4.8 installation.

I don't like the last line either, and we should remove this too. I
just discussed this on KDE-quality IRC and we think it will bring more
questions/confusions than it's worth.

Maybe we can simply replace this whole paragraph with:

"Instructions on running the latest beta can be found at [LINK] this
will be updated as distribution packages become available."

Then in the wiki we can still have the source section but under a
caveat of "Compiling from source is really tricky, we don't advise
this!".
