NetBeans Innovators Grant Winners

On behalf of the NetBeans Dream Team I am pleased to announce the
winners for the NetBeans Innovators Grant.  But before I do, I'd just
like to take an opportunity to say thanks to all those who submitted
proposals.  The response was even greater than we anticipated, but our
judges worked hard to read every single proposal.  The hardest part,
however, was narrowing down so many great proposals to just the list
of winners below.  This took longer we expected and we truly
appreciate your patience while the judges took a little extra time to
thoroughly consider the proposals.

Because there were several projects with similar names, I've included
the main contact's name for each project.  We'll be posting the list
of winners and a brief description of each project to the NetBeans Web
site soon.

Congratulations to our winners and thanks to Sun Microsystems for
their generous support of the NetBeans Innovators Grant.
