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

[Nathan]

The objects of a press embargo are to, as I understand it, coordinate the
release of information and make sure that staff are available to answer
questions or react to developments after release. I'm sure the WMF has some
flexibility within their normal business hours, but... as with any global
enterprise, any timezone you pick is going to bug someone somewhere.
