Yes we need to make the project know so that we can start attracting readers and mentions in the press.
More editors will hopefully be a good thing.

Are you looking for CentralNotice? http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice
Note that a movement-wide notice may well pull in a lot of people all at once, and potentially overwhelm the locals. This is a risk factor. Has this been discussed?

If this, please follow https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Usage_guidelines. Translation usually requires a week at least, so I'd say you have to hurry up.

Okay I have been looking at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice
I have added the announcement to the calender http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Calendar
It appears we need a meta admin to help. Here are some http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNoticeLogs
I am not however clear where we create this? Or how we get this up beyond that. Anyone have a better idea of the process?

Please 1) create a page like this with the strings to translate: https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimania_2012/CentralNotice&oldid=3620167 2) ask on [[WM:RFH]] to create a CN with the said language and a link to X that you've decided to link.
Both things are said on the page I linked before, by the way, but – as it seems it's not clear – suggestions on how to improve it are welcome on the talk page, as usual.

Okay so everyone is happy with "Wikivoyage, a free travel guide that anyone can edit, is officially launching this week as the WMF's 13th official project. We invite you to join us." We will also hopefully have Wikivoyages logo.
I have added content here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2012/CentralNotice Does not format that well though.

I'm not sure you really want that message.
1). It's long. 2). 90% of people have no idea what the WMF is. 3). There's no call to action. There's nothing saying "click here to check it out" or driving them to click on the banner. It's just a statement of fact. 4). Who is "we"?

------------------- This week we are launching [http://wikivoyage.org Wikivoyage]—join us in creating a free travel guide that anyone can edit -------------------
Regarding the Wikivoyage.org link in the notice, _external_ format full URL link is used on purpose--external link icon helps communicate that Wikivoyage is a separate website, not a travel section of Wikipedia, which is part of the WP / WV differentiation message. Also, we _want_ people to go through the Wikivoyage portal their first time to Wikivoyage so that they are aware of our language versions.
__Please help translate__ the notice if you can. ----------------------------
