[Wikimedia-l] Wikivoyage launch: why no blog post or press release?

[Stevie Benton]

Hi Tom et al,

There is indeed a release - but it is embargoed until 1600 GMT / 0800 PST...

It's uploaded to the WMUK blog in readiness to go live at the appointed
hour. I am absolutely certain that the Foundation are equally prepared.

Hope this is helpful,

Stevie
