[Foundation-l] Update on status of press release

[Michael Snow]

Our upcoming press release about the 1,000,000-article milestone for 
Wikipedia is approaching completion. I just wanted to keep everyone 
informed who's helping with the project. Based on the current rate of 
article creation, we're still looking at September 15 as the date for 
the millionth article, and we plan to starting sending the press release 
that day.

I anticipate some changes still need to be made - for example, a new 
quote from Jimbo instead of recycling the one from the last press 
release. But I plan to push on and hopefully have a final text ready in 
the next 24 hours or so. Anyone who still has input they want to offer, 
please don't hold back; I would love to have your help, but we need to 
freeze the text for the translation process very soon.

Thanks also to the translators, many of whom have already started 
working on the draft text. I will announce on this list again when the 
text is finalized, so you can update translations to that version.
