 	cycle.  Now if I can just get myself back onto a normal dev cycle,

+	Ethan: Not to be too "me-too", but I have to say that I'm really
+	excited about the project's new name and identity, and glad to be

+	the last few months, so there are likely to be some snags --
+	please help us out by trying beta 7, searching for any bugs you
+	find in the bug tracker at http://developer.pidgin.im/, and
+	documenting them if they are unknown or you can provide new
+	information.  Help us make 2.0.0 final a release to be remembered
+	(in a good way)!  I'd like to give huge thanks to all of the
+	developers, our steadfast supporters, the crazy patch writers, and
+	everyone else who has made this transition to Pidgin possible, and
+	the improvements that go along with it.  I'd like to extend a
+	special thanks to Sean, for leading us through the legal issues
+	and taking care of all of the paperwork and overhead that no one
+	wants to deal with.
