This task is about making volunteers at the yet-to-be-defined projects aware //when// and //how// the New Discussion Tool will be offered as a Beta Feature.
=== Announcement timing
//TBD//
=== Announcement links
//TBD; depends on what wikis are a part of this deployment. More in T275827.//
=== Announcement components
People who read the announcement should finish it knowing:
- **When** they will be able to try the New Discussion Tool
- **How** they will be able to try the New Discussion Tool
- **What** functionality the New Discussion Tool offers them
- **Where** they can go to share feedback and questions about the New Discussion Tool
- **What** they can do to turn off the tool if they would prefer not to use it
- **What** enhancements are planned for the tool

=== Background
Making volunteers aware of this change before it happens is especially important as the New Discussion Tool intersects with peoples' existing workflows and expectations for adding a new topic to a talk page. //More context in the `Background` section of T270788's description.//
//Note: we're continuing with the "make announcements approach" for the reasons explained in T270788#6780931. Although, if in T275830 we come to learn this approach has issues, we'll revise.//
