Some friends asked me today about the Wikivoyage launch, and the reasoning
behind it.
I hopped over to https://blog.wikimedia.org/ and found... nothing.
Then I went to https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Press_room and also
found... nothing.
Any reason why the Foundation hasn't published
Hi Tom et al,
There is indeed a release - but it is embargoed until 1600 GMT / 0800 PST...
It's uploaded to the WMUK blog in readiness to go live at the appointed
hour. I am absolutely certain that the Foundation are equally prepared.
Hope this is helpful,

Hi,
maybe it would be good to consider at some point in the near future the
timing of press releases, embargoes etc - keeping our international climate
in mind. Unfortunately SF is quite at the far edge of timezone-land, and
when we want to announce something on a certain date, that can indeed be
http://aubreymcfato.com/2013/01/15/how-to-exploit-academics/ is a brief and

I think we should all just use TAI. None of this nonsense about leap days,
or pesky little quibbles about leap seconds. God forbid the notion of
daylight savings.

The objects of a press embargo are to, as I understand it, coordinate the
release of information and make sure that staff are available to answer
questions or react to developments after release. I'm sure the WMF has some
flexibility within their normal business hours, but... as with any global
