I'm willing to take on the entropy field along the lines of what Greg suggested, but I still wonder if we should try to incorporate spatially varying gammas. I assume this is something that is not possible in Enzo, I guess, but I don't know about other codes.
I assume this could be handled by checking whether or not "gamma" is defined as a runtime parameter, or checking the field list for the gamma fields.
Thoughts?

I think the release will attract more eyeballs if we can point to screencasts about some of the new functionality, including (but not limited to, see the changelog <http://yt-project.org/docs/2.4/changelog.html#version-2-4> for the full [really extensive and impressive] list of changes):

She is interested - all she needs from us is a google doc with a draft of the post, including text embedded videos, and urls. I'm going to begin the write up sometime this week and then share the google doc on the yt-dev list so that others can contribute.
