I've put the project in stable production status, and updated some key
web pages.

http://www.gnu-darwin.org/packages.shtml
http://www.gnu-darwin.org/ports/index.shtml

Our core asset, the packages and software distribution system is now usable by anyone who is willing to learn the Unix command line, and we encourage everyone to do so. This system together with GNU-Darwin OS itself is an impactful force in the industry, and our project is popular, influential, and widely watched. It is clear that as a major distribution we will continue build and grow our many sub-projects, such as internet services, the ports, x86 hardware support, and our CDRs and other hard media offerings. Once again, many thanks to Cornell University, the worldwide free software development collective, Darwin contributors, SourceForge, Prime Time Freeware, the *BSD trinity, Apple, and everyone else who helped us to get to this point. In this rich context we have become 1.0, but we are just getting started, and it is going to be a wild ride and a compelling journey. Join us now.

Regards,
