I'll take this one. It'll need an edit to ubuntu-help/Makefile.am also, which I will do either during the merge, or right after if I can not do it at the same time.

Do we need to add links to this new page from any existing pages?

Look good.
@Kevin: Line 9 means it will get included in the unity-launcher-intro.page rendering or compiling into html so no other link is needed. However, it can be confusing when reading top down.
