It would be best to wait a few days before sending this press release.
More precisely it would be best to wait on the 25th... because there will be an announcement about wikicommons on that date. This announcement is not yet public but will be made public on the 25th.
Aurevilly has already written an announcement for it, in english.
It might be useful to see if both releases could not be merged in one... I suggest the parties involved in the commons press release discuss this before any publishing of this one.

If someone wants to write a background section on what wikis are etc., that might be a useful addition. Beyond that, please make minor fixes, and help to translate it into as many languages as possible. We can start sending this out on Monday. It doesn't need to be done in all languages simultaneously; if some need a few more days, that's fine.
As noted in the release, the 100,000th file, by my count, is:
