It seems to me what we really want is more than a changelog but a proper
release announcement.  I want a journalist who has hardly heard of Wine
to read the page and understand what we've done and why it's great.

I've created a rough skeleton of things to have here:

I'm very busy at the Ubuntu Developer Summit at the moment but I'll put
some good work into it soon.

Thanks,
