Aiming for 24th October for GRDDL publications, press release (fwd)

Everyone,
 	Ian Jacobs from W3C Communications suggests that we aim to publish 
working drafts of *all* (Primer, Use Cases, and Spec) GRDDL documents by 
Oct 24th. We will discuss this proposal at our next meeting - here's his 
original e-mail.

To be on the safe side, want to try for 26 October? If the spec is ready
sooner, and the comm calendar permits, we can issue the release and
FPWD of GRDDL on 24th of october. I think we'll have the press release 
ready well before then.

Also, you may or may not wish to publish the other drafts before 24
October. There are benefits to publishing as early as you can, but there
may be more comm bang for the buck to go live with all three at once
with the press release. I don't have strong feelings and look forward to
your input.
