Well, that's a surprise to me.  It's a shame this is the first that
current website editors like me have been told about this launch date.
I thought it would be about 20 May.  As everyone can now see (yikes),
there are a few problems with design and content on new.koha.org to
fix and the current website editors don't even have access yet, as far
as I know.

Who has taken over management of the review process?  I asked for edit
access on 29 April and have had no reply since then.

Hrm.

I'm happy to help, but it's 3pm on Friday now, so it's not going to be
done by this weekend even if I throw everything at it.
