I wonder if all the references to "I" should be
"we" or
"developers"? Unless this is going to either be a signed letter or
have a by-line?
Sure, if everyone thinks it's an acceptable plan then that definitely
sounds like a better way to phrase it.

candidate) now available
Hi Bryce,
I've pasted your text into news as a first draft. I'd like to get this
message put together for our users and also broadcast it to a wider
area to attract new developers now we have a stronger direction.
Can you (and others) please review so we can make this a strong
message:

Thanks everyone.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
