[Catalyst] Final RFC for Press Release!

[Edmund von der Burg]

I like that press release - it is short enough to get read and
sufficiently light on detail not to make people feel that the learning
curve will be too steep.

press releases:

Those pages are from 2001 - the company subsequently folded.

Anyhoo - I think that they set a good example of haw to do press. I
especially like that at the end of each press release they had a
'About Be' section that set the scene.

Perhaps we should add something similar to our press releases:
