Is it worth fleshing out a PR plan for promotion of the upcoming release? It will be a huge release (feature wise) and I reckon people will want to know about all our cool new features...

Yes, this sounds like a very good idea. Ryan, would you and Jon and prokoudine arrange to put some thought into this sometime within the next week or two, and post what you come up with to this list for review?

Please remember us poor translators :) Last time we've had a rough announce well in advance to proofread it and have it translated in many languages. If we plan in advance the PR campaign, we can do a better and worldwide announce.

How much lead time do you need on translation? Could you help wrangle international/translations?

Also, many portions of text (such as introduction, common description et similia) can be taken with previous PR scheme, avoid a lot of duplicate work. As usual, almost everything can be found digging in the ML archives and in the wiki :)

Right, while in theory this is good, to get picked up for press outlets there has to be a third-person, new, narrative approach...the about inkscape section can stay nearly the same, but at least for the formal pr., need a bit more formal tone...

So, we usually do:

1.) Formal PR (3rd person, formal, targeted)

2.) Community Announcement (more friendly, 1st/2nd person)

So, I would like to add:

3.) Targeted interviews, articles, press

Thanks, Bryce

Cheers, Luca

I also think we should create a generic "Blogger's PR" so all of us that have a blog, if we want to can just copy and paste a blog post to our blogs at the time of the release.

Not a bad idea; I'd hope each person would try to "personalize" the announcement a bit, such as if each person could write something about their favorite Inkscape feature, or post some piece of art they were able to make using this new version.

Should we also keep track of all of us that are willing to do this on the announcement planning site also?

Good idea.
