Hm. I actually don't have the press release with me, although I suppose I
could get it.
You or Martin could distill the press release into a six sentence blurb
to put up as "what is lyx". If folks like it better than what's currently
there, then it will probably replace the current text.
While we're at it, much of the press release *could* go to replace
about.html. I actually like the language of about.html, even though it's
totally different from the language of the PR. So maybe we should just keep
it. An alternative would be to link to the press release from the "1.0 has
been released" section of the main page.
Anyway, I've been focusing on fixing broken links and updating obsolete
or missing text, as opposed to improving current language (although that is
certainly a noble goal).
