On behalf of the qooxdoo core team: "Happy New Year!" to everyone, welcome back in 2010.

The last year has been a very exciting and successful one for qooxdoo. Many of you already follow the project closely, for instance by reading the weekly status reports, being an active member on the mailing list or in bugzilla, providing and maintaining contributions, and in many other ways. Thanks to everyone for the ongoing support and to make it possible to ship qooxdoo 1.0 end of last year.

This major 1.0 release has been well-received and got some good press and attention. If you are a new user or returning to qooxdoo for migrating or continuing with existing apps, we hope you enjoy all the built-in features of this comprehensive and practical package. If you have questions or suggestions, let us know.

If you have some good user experience with developing qooxdoo apps, let others know as well (personal blog, twitter, etc.). Particularly the more experienced qooxdoo users are also asked to add to our own activities and keep promoting qooxdoo on various channels (real-life examples, blogs, magazines, conferences). Please get in touch with us to get some input, help or heads-up for those activities, just don't forget to let us know about it to coordinate some efforts.

We are looking forward to working with you on making 2010 a great year for qooxdoo, its wide-spread adoption and its ongoing progress.
