According to http://wiki.winehq.org/WineReleasePlan the new release
date for Wine 1.0 is set to June 17.

However the Firefox 3.0 release date is also set to June 17.

Their release is planned to be high profile and they even plan to set
a Guinness world record for downloads in a single day!

With this, I fear that the Wine release would be drowned out in the
euphoria and excitement for Firefox 3.

I respectfully suggest, therefore, that we move the Wine 1.0 release
date to another date besides June 17.

This way we can attract more press and attention.

I hope others agree with my observation.

Regards,
Bamm

Maybe this is a dumb idea, but could the Firefox developers be asked
to provide a link to the WINE release?  "And don't miss
[today|tomorrow] the release of WINE 1.0" or whatever.
