Sure, no problem! In general help is seeked to share the workload of
posting the announcement as a press release.
The doc/howto_release.txt in the course code contains the links. BUT:
I can happily do that since it is the end of GRASS GIS 6 releases
anyway, so no big hype is needed here. Also the creation of binaries
is less important here perhaps.

 Getting related help for the next G7 releases would be great, i.e.
- write a catchy announcement
- add nice screenshot(s) to it
- provide binaries.

However, we may discuss that in the 7.0.5 planning email thread to not
mix it up with this one here.

thanks
