If we are going to include urls (see below) I think the urls should be
the same - right now we are hoping to get screencasts.ubuntu.com, and I
hope we'll get it, but there is no indication as to whether we will get
the other ones. Don't worry about the urls too much for now.

We should retain the Contribute and Request links (they won't go away,
or if the pages change, we can insert redirects), but tbh I'm not so
sure about the url for the screencasts themselves. After all, if the
user is seeing the screencasts, likelyhood is he's been there already :)
