Mobile community people started to follow me since I released some new features. Simon Judge writing on his <a href="http://mobilephonedevelopment.com/archives/854" rel="nofollow">blog</a>, helped me to raise interest in my work. Updates in numbers: 300 dowloads per month 8 external contributions from people, both bugs' corrections and requests for new features <a href="http://modules.apache.org/search.php?id=1787" rel="nofollow">Apache included my project</a>, now listed among existing modules for Apache 4 companies wrote me to tell they have adopted my package for delivery mobile content. At the end of the day I realized that to make a good open source piece of code, you must have a good idea and people like Roberto and Simon that help you. Thank you both for your help! Hi Roberto,
