Next year really should be great for all of us. A number of really prime fan projects should make it out, and a bunch of existing great ones will be refined. ace's Happy Home page turns TEN in 2006, and it'll be ten years since I started posting to alt.games.wing-commander. And as there have been each year for us in the past, I'm sure there will be some exciting surprises to come.
Feel free to drop by #Wingnut if you're not going out at midnight tonight.
