Hey Brian,
Jeremy - do you have a copy of the real press release we did for 1.0? I dug around looking for it and couldn't find it. Looks like we never properly posted it on WineHQ. It did get picked up by quite a few news sites, but Google isn't finding it.
Scott / Edward - when 1.0 came out, Jeremy had the PR firm that writes copy for Codeweavers put together a press release for Wine. It was pretty good and fairly polished. I'm not sure if having them do it again would be an option. Also, I think Wine 1.0 was coordinated with a release of Crossover 7.0.
I can't find anything on that release, but we're certainly happy to put together another one for Wine 1.2. I've CC'd Jon Parshall, as he's the guy that'll get to do it.
Cheers,
Jeremy
