Wade, please take a look at the code in the pgweb prject on GBorg.
Essentially the page layout is currently in most files, but the menus,
sidebars and colours come from php includes. There are existing release
notices you can use as a template - I beleive Robert produced some.

Default to English and have links to translations accross the bottom. Or,
bung the release notice on the Advocacy site. As you know, the main site
currently is English only, though Andreas is working onthat.
