That is a really impressive amount of work. I really feel like I am
betting on a good horse here - a young colt with some great years of
racing ahead.
A very small thing (a personal preference only if it does not align with
your philosophy).
You might you title that page "Pharo 2.0 Release Notes".
Its just one industry convention that I am partial to and what I google
for when I am looking for the history of some software.

About this release
------------------
All in all, there were over 1600 issues treated in the issue tracker
and 1350 improvements integrated into 2.0.
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/list?can=1&q=Milestone%3D2.0+status%3AIntegrated
Read it again, yes 1350 is huge, take two minutes and have a look at the list of
improvements! Now you got the feel of the effort. And this was a true community
effort. It is possible because people worldwide helped! We want to deeply thank them.
We want to thank Inria for its constant support, in particular for the salary
of Igor
Stasenko and Esteban Lorenzano, and for the help in the infrastructure.
We have accomplished this huge task for a better system because we were
together. Do not
forget that we are working on a consortium to support our system:
- http://consortium.pharo.org (for companies and organizations)
- http://association.pharo.org (for individuals)
Our goal is to build a system so that we can make a living with our creativity
and
programming skills.
You can find information about Pharo on http://www.pharo-project.org. In particular,
