Sorry to say this, but this info about the delay should have gone out way earlier than 20 hours or so before the hardfork was supposed to happen, plans that can't be easily changed has already been made to the projects that I run, with a pause today which could not be avoided due to this short notice.
We will not make plans for a pause for when the hardfork now actually happens, even if a date and time will be released, but treat it like shit happens deal with it.
I would suggest having a dedicated person to handle communications, it's not just developers that needs to know.
