I think launching quietly and assuming that it won't be picked up by Phoronix/LWN/Slashdot could leave us
scrambling if (when!) that happens.
It might be better to try and set expectations up front: when we are ready to launch, send a mail to
gnome-shell-list, setting expectations for what works, and what is still being worked on, link to that mail
from extensions.gnome.org (Like have a "learn more" link next to the Alpha/Beta banner on the web site), fix
the problems that come up.
I'm *sure* we don't want to send out a press release for a site that has been tested by about 5 people so
far, however.

Sure. Just know that from checking the website's error log, there's
15-20 people trying to guess random passwords each day, so I doubt
there would be a shortage of people noticing. Launching quietly also
gives us enough freedom in case we want to take it down for
maintenance or wipe all the data, which isn't excluded as a
possibility at this point.
When the website becomes more mature, we can announce it then.

Can't we call it a beta release?
