Very exciting news at:

http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_News

I've made some changes to the press release to reflect this and also the fact 
that we missed the 300,000 milestone.

There were some complaints that "one third of a million" and "1/3 million" do 
not translate well, so I created an alternate headline and intro (the 
headline is the same as the subject line of this email).

Diff showing change:

http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikimedia%27s_first_press_release&diff=0&oldid=18697

Updates to all different versions of the press release will be needed. 

Diff since Sep 22 (the original day that the press release was supposed to be 
frozen to anything but minor edits):

http://meta.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikimedia%27s_first_press_release&diff=0&oldid=16798

(diff is VERY wide due to Russian Unicode).
