Hi all -
I would like to get a press release out as soon as we get 2004.0 on the
mirrors (hopefully) Monday. What I need is a good writer whom I can sit
down with and hash out what we (releng) wants to say. I would write it
myself, but all of my free time is commmitted.

Regards,
//zhen

John,
	Can you write the pre-document yourself of what you need to say and
some key points and we'll try to get you a whipped up form of what you
need.

Thanks,
Benjamin

I'd like to change this to read

... For more information, please consult our documentation [4], mailing lists
[5], user forums [6] and official IRC channels [7].

Otherwise the release statement looks nice.
