[Opensource] Happy New Year - Jcorporate now 5 years old

[Sandra Cann]

Dear Community Members

Jcorporate site is now 5 year old. January 1999 the site was first published
with a goal of creating a place for its Expresso Open Source framework
based-project and fee-based community source products ; and to create a
thriving community. 
 
When we launched the site, we never dreamed that Expresso would become the
leading architectural framework, or that its community would be more than
32,000 registered users strong.  We continue to add about 50 new users per
day.  We recently crossed our 150,000 Expresso downloads milestone! Our
listserv has close to 5000 subscribers making it the largest framework
listserv.

It seems appropriate at this time to thank you our community and express our
appreciation for making this community!!

We are continuing our work to enhance the Jcorporate site.  The demos are
now back online, this time enabling access to most functions of the
products. We'll also be adding new listservs, including one for cvs
notifications so you know what is happening with the code base; and a
listserv where code and doc contributions can be sent. 

We appreciate the feedback provided by site end-users. As always, if you
have any questions or feedback regarding jcorporate.com, feel free to email
me directly at scann at jcorporate.com.  Note: I always try to reply quickly to
your emails.  
Thank you.
