Well, my vote is a foregone conclusion, but 'Make it so!' :)
Hm. Kat suggested that only one big item should be on each press release, so
maybe we can have a separate press release announcing the name change and
talking about the software itself? Release it a week after the previous press
release and direct it toward more techy-oriented news sites. We could also
have a separate press release announcing the grand opening of the Wikimedia
Foundation website and the start of our fundraising drive (since it doesn't
look like that will be set-up by the time we hit 300,000).
