I have been given word that our statements can appear in a press release

type of statements are we looking for?
Let's bring the Apache Public Relations Committee into this to see what
advice they have.
We (the Apache HTTP Server Project) would like to put together a press
release announcing the release of version 2.2. We can highlight the
obvious market penetration numbers and some of the features listed here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.1/new_features_2_2.html
But we would like to put particular emphasis on the performance and
scalability of httpd. We have two people (Brian Atkins at CNN and Colm
MacCárthaigh at HEAnet) who run httpd under extremely high load and are
willing to give us some quotes on this topic.
Can the PRC give advice on how we should proceed? I am willing to start
a draft, if that helps. Is there a template or some advice on
format/content? What else should we be doing?
Re Brian's question above, I think we want a statement emphasizing
performance and scalability. It doesn't need to be extremely precise,
spec-wise. Most people reading a press release wouldn't care. We just
want to transmit the message that you use apache httpd in a very-high
load situation and that it perfoms very well. By the way, are you using
2.0 or 2.1?
