i've asked our advocacy team to jump into https://community.kde.org/Matrix to help polish it up as needed.

one thought on welcome rooms for the welcome page: i suspect you should be highlighting the ones relevant for a general on-boarding audience (e.g. #kde, #kde-devel, #plasma, #kde-chat perhaps). More domain specific ones like #kde-vdg or #kde-promo i suspect would feel a bit weird to come across for newbies (and you will risk having a flood of confused people clicking into them). More than ~4 rooms is probably going to get too busy.

Also, here is my remaining todo list (as stolen from the google doc). @paulb, should this be merged into the main task somehow?

Hi all - I've finally had a chance to put some words together which can be used as needed for the announcement text. I've written it out in longform as i reason it's good to have as much material to borrow from as possible.

hi folks - sorry for lack of activity on my side; we are crunching to try to get Riot 1.0 final out the door tomorrow (although looks like we might do another RC rather than a final release and possibly shift the release to coincide with this announcement next week).
