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.

At the risk of showing my age I've always been a fan of the Be.com press releases: http://web.archive.org/web/20010106174100/www2.be.com/aboutbe/pressinfo.html 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: ----------------- About Catalyst Catalyst is a framework for building web applications of all sizes.
