Sure. What do you recommend? We means the "Wikimedia movement" also something 90% of people probably have no idea about.
How about "Today we are launching Wikivoyage, a free travel guide that anyone can edit. Join us."

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"?

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.

It appears we need a meta admin to help. Here are some
http://meta.wikimedia.org/**wiki/Special:CentralNoticeLogshttp://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
- create a page like this with the strings to translate: <
https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/**index.php?title=Wikimania_** 2012/CentralNotice&oldid=**3620167https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikimania_2012/CentralNotice&oldid=3620167
- 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.
