Congratulations!
Yes, well done!
The thing is, most of the people in this
forum are blissfully unaware of GNU's process, milestones, and deadlines. I know
it's unpleasant to do so, but one thing to do would be to overcommunicate.
There's a lot to be said about reminding people, time and again, about an
impending deadline and what they can do to help.
I totally agree. The "build it and they will come" is a hollywood myth, you've
got to get out in front of this and flog it.
Over the years, I've seen an awful lot of great projects created by brilliant
people fall by the wayside because the creator, for whatever reason, did not
flog it. This has often, sadly, left the creator frustrated and even bitter.
For example, OSCON is still open (until midnight) for speaking proposals. Submit
a proposal about GDC!

See the yellow button? SUBMIT! (I did already, so has Andrei.) Don't pass up
opportunities, or assume someone else will do it on your behalf.
It's not the time to be modest!
