I suggest that we are done with the press release, unless anyone has any 
last-minute critical corrections.

I'm heading off for 7 days in France this Wednesday evening, and I'd 
like to get the process started for distributing the press release 
before I leave.  NicolasC also needs time to make the last minute 
changes to the French version.

Any other translators available?

Thus, I propose that tomorrow morning is the cutoff point (my time, east 
coast U.S.) for comments.  I'll begin distribution then.

Thanks for all the input, everyone, especially Holger!
