Mike, the "soft" part of the launch is that it is available only in English, has not been heavily promoted and every link and reference elsewhere has not been transitioned. This info was in Gregory's initial post about the soft launch on the 1st.

Huh? it’s already been live at https://wikimediafoundation.org/ for the last week or so - that’s not a “soft launch”, that’s a full launch (maybe without the trimmings).
Should I repost the comments/bug reports I sent to wmfcc-l last week more publicly?
Thanks, Mike

Hello,
Thank you to everyone that has sent in productive feedback and bug
reports! In the interest of having this conversation more transparently and succinctly, we have answered a number of questions on the talk page of the Meta-Wiki page for this site: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Foundation_website
We will continue to monitor feedback, address bugs during soft launch,
and let you know when the translations are in place and we are ready for the full launch of the site.
Again, thank you all for your patience during the soft launch of this
site.

I had to turn off my anti-tracking extension to see this site
properly.
This is how it appears for me, in Firefox (current version) with AdBlockPlus enabled:

AdBlockPlus is reportedly active on 100 million devices.
