It is now a year since Midgard 1.0 was first released on May 8th 1999. While the project has obviously been going on for a longer time than that (first mention of the project is on Bergie's personal Web site, dated April 25th 1998), the 1.0 launch was when the project became public. As it is very easy to only see where the project is now, and forget the long process that has taken us here, I decided to put together a quick look back into major happenings with the project in last year. To summarize, the year was one of quick growth for Midgard. We've gathered a quite sizable community of active users and contributors, and also made inroads to corporate acceptance of Midgard both as an important business tool, and a product. In addition, the Midgard application server itself has evolved much from its modest beginnings, and the development team has had good time working on it. -> http://www.midgard-project.org/article/1712.html Please note that this document is still in draft state.
