Here we go: new year, new thread about your expectations of the year to come.
I'll start with my expectation about the Powerbook port. That one will be highly appreciated by me.
I think the G5 things will take its time and with the current list of supported hardware, there is no need to hurry too much, maybe it will be ready in late 2011, but probably not very soon.
And I rather don't count on *new* hardware for 2011, but happily noticed that ppc ain't dead and in late 2011 new promising chips will appear, that - with some luck - may yield to something in 2012.
On the software side I am quite happy with the current situation. I hope that Fab continues his outstanding work on OWB and MPlayer. I'd be glad if a hardware accelerated Cairo would come. I further hope Yomgui continues his work on Helios, Python and Blender as well as all the other active developers continue their work. I am looking quite forwar about the Lua-Port. I hope, I will improve my programming skills and finally create somethig useful.
My biggest hope for the coming year is that some fresh blood will join the party and I think chances are good that we will see an increasing user base.
All in all I think 2011 will be a year of continued developement and further maturity, but probably w/o the big surprises. Hopefully with more happy users and a vivid community.
A happy 2011 to the community!

Whenever you're sad just remember the world is 4.543 billion years old and you somehow managed to exist at the same time as David Bowie.
...and Matthias , my friend - RIP
... all other wishes will be the inevitable result of that wish.
