I've just been looking through local emails so that I can tack the v1.0 
announcement into an appropriate place, and I see that the first time I 
mentioned it to colleagues was at 0.9.14 in '06 but also that Marco 
helped me get an early version going in '04.

So while the applause and congratulations are in the announcement 
thread, I'd like to express quiet gratitude to /everybody/ who is or has 
been involved with the project. And I'd also like to suggest that 
somebody hoist a glass /in/ /absentia/ to the developers of some of the 
predecessor and constituent projects including Sybil and Megido, and 
also to the Borland pioneers of distant memory as they hauled their 
wagons over the passes and towards the promised land of Scotts Valley.
