New description:

 write a formal press release for sage 5.0.

 part of [http://groups.google.com/group/sage-
 marketing/browse_thread/thread/67b9302da0f1b941 our effords in sage-
 marketing] to promote sage.

 rules:

 1. write as if you are writing a news story. journalists are overworked
 and want something that is copy/paste ready.

 2. layout: short and useful header, short introduction (less than 80
 words? ... i.e. 1-2 sentences summarizing what's going on). then start
 with the most important and most catchy part, first line starts with a
 location and a date. after that, expand into more details, later on a
 general overview of the project, contact info, related material (press kit
 website)

 3. the last line must be "# # #". those three signs signal the end, that's
 a standard.

 just a small thing, press messages must end with "# # #", that's a
 standard to signal where it is ending.
