If you want us we can try and help you write the announcement (pls give us a week) and maybe a feature guide (but of course a feature guide would take more than a week, think more like a month). We'll also help promote the release to facebook, youtube (if you have video's) and other channels. The dot editors also need a heads-up a few days before if you want a timely release announcement on the dot.
