Congratulations and thank you to all the POI team. We have been using 1.8-dev in a "live" environment for 10 months, but I'm sure having a proper release will widen the use of POI as organizations with "Release Version Only" policies will be able to deploy the great work you guys have done.
The only comment I have is that the main Jakarta news page (http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news.html) does not include the anouncement of POI 2.0, and neither does the POI news blog.
