I suggest not submitting this to any major news sites (*cough* Slashdot *cough*) until easy options for donations are in place. So let's keep quiet about this for a while, OK? I know it's hard :).
Perhaps even explicitly ask the editors to keep the story down until we're ready. (I don't know how to do that, tough.)
I'm just wondering, "why?"
Erik Moeller gives the answer above. If we wait until the tax deduction stuff is in place, and until we have an easy mechanism for accepting donations, then the "wikimedia foundation" announcement will be more lucrative.
And since we're now a foundation, we can equate "lucrative" with "good". :)
