The easiest way to spread the word is to let them (the not-involved)
spread the word.  Nobody  talks about some new lines at the website.
If there is an aim to let people have a look at something that makes a
good impression, some polishing would be fine.  Otherwise the only thing
that is needed is to declare the current CVS snapshot as Official
Develpment Release 0.3.

People are waiting for a release, and things improved.  Some
showstoppers are now fixed.  I think it's time for 0.3.
