[cosmos-dev] Milestone 1 release announcement - please review

[David Whiteman <David_Whiteman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, so we completed milestone 1 a month
ago. :-)  After much discussion, we have a proposed announcement for
the newsgroup and web site.  In an effort to be consistent with other
pre-1.0 incubator projects, we are planning an 0.i release numbering format,
where "i" is the iteration number.  Please review the following
announcement, and voice any concerns you have by the end of the day.  At
that point, I'll post the final version to the newsgroup and Rich will
put it on the web site.
