Woohoo!!!!
Alexandre just posted the Wine 1.0 commit! I eagerly did my git update and enjoyed running 'wine --version'. Ooo. I'm going to do it again...
Let us all have a moment of silence to mourn the passing of the Wine 1.0 jokes <grin>.
Seriously, this is a major milestone for the Wine project. It is no small undertaking to create a complex Free Software project, and to bring it to a state of general usefulness. There are literally millions - if not more - people using this software we have built. This is a great accomplishment, and we all should be deeply proud of what we've accomplished.
I think it's particularly important to thank each and every one of the 1076 AUTHORS and to recognize the support and work of the many people that have contributed to Wine without having their name in that file.
I also think we should particularly take a moment to recognize the incredible work of our fearless leader - Alexandre Julliard - without whom none of this would have been possible.
And then we should celebrate!
I realize that any real large communal celebration will have to wait until we can gather for Wineconf. But I intend to gather up a gang of folks and go out for a meal to celebrate. I will lift a glass of Wine in toast to Alexandre and the many people that have worked on Wine, and I encourage everyone else to do the same.
Ideally, people will become sufficiently happy to wax maudlin and we can capture all kinds of embarrassing stories on #winehackers <grin>.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Wow, this is the moment we've all been waiting for!
Congratulations everybody, this is way cool indeed.
And I must say, this would not have been possible without Alexandre's amazing contribution. Kudos!
And it's DOWN! The web server couldn't handle the excitement I guess.
As a user, I want to thank all the developers for all their hard work in the past 15 years. I was 5 years old when you guys started, and because of you I could switch to Linux, about 10 years later. I like to play a video game now and then, and Wine makes it possible. I just take a look at the AppDB before I decide to buy a game, and usually I can. Thanks again!

The site was slashdotted a few hours ago, but it seems to be stable now. /dev/null took my words of praise in the WineHQ outage though:
