I will take care of the announcement email when I get into the office today. The email that you sent out for the unofficial testing tarball looks good. I will base it off of that. For the additional documentation, I will start a Release Notes page on the wiki and try to get some of these things documented. If everybody else could jump in at that point and update the wiki, I think we can get that taken care of.
