Speaking as a lurker who is eagerly awaiting the first release with 
documentation and someone who has released open source software 
before, hold off a few days and make the changes first.

In my experience, the most important thing for a successful release is:

1. Good docs, especially docs with examples to common problems in the 
problem domain.

2. Stable code.

You really want to be ready when the first wave of potential 
developers visits, because if they are turned off they won't come 
back for the next release.
