> anything unreleased and highly anticipated: Anki, still at version 0.9.x
> anything dying/dead: KDE 3.5.10
> anything deserving great honours (EG. Linux, GCC): Zim desktop wiki and Anki. These two programs literally change the way I handle information.
> any organisation/community deserving great honours (EG. GNU, Debian): KDE. KDE 4 is not yet up to the level of refinement of KDE 3, but it is getting there quickly.
> any FLOSS developer deserving great honours (max 5 at most, unless you insist): Aaron Siego of KDE, Jaap of Zim, Damien of Anki. Although Anne Wilson is not a dev, she holds the KDE community together and deserves honours for that.
