So folks know, other than publishing on Wikitech Deployments page, in Tech
News, and these mailing lists, our communication plans include the
following:

1. A MassMessage before the fact to Village Pumps, separate from Tech News
and pointing to the translated FAQ
2. An article in the English Wikipedia Signpost
3. A short blog post on blog.wikimedia.org

If there are other things you think we should be doing, please speak up.
The overkill message of last resort is to use a CentralNotice banner,
though that seems a little silly to me just to update fonts.
