Is there any chance to put Press Release (if you'll prepare any) before release as well? Even though release notes is good enough to post on web sites, it's better to forward localized press releases to mailing lists, and even local media. Actually I know some releases haven't got any press release in past, but just asking this if you'll prepare one for Gnome 2.10. Besides i'm wondering if it's possible to prepare a gimp script-fu and give them to translators in order to make localized screen shots of the ones in what's new section of release notes. Or is it only drop shadow and fuzzy edges?
