Re: Dot article for PMC 0.9 release

Hi,

We are planning to do the first ever release of Plasma Media Center [1]
soon, and have written a small draft announcement. It will be very nice if
you guys can do a quick review and let us know what stuff can be improved :)

Here is the draft
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yKJheK6UBH0-h_q6KC_XSJSmD0QJiG3JU24bdBkiUp0/edit


Thanks a lot!
