Great, looking forward to trying this out. I can add a release note to the
web page, any specific wishes for the text? Ditto for the IRC channels, I
can update the channel notes.

Another question: have the translators and distributions been notified? I
know it is just an alpha release, but this would at least give them time to
prepare for future releases.
Was there an embargo notice for the tarball or was it sent as immediate
release? it's still OK to make an immediate release for an alpha, but for
any future releases we should consider an embargo period of at least two
weeks to give translators and distributions time to prepare (and for
ourselves to prepare the website and announcements)

Regards, Myriam
