+One Year of Topaz
+=================
+
+It slipped by so quickly I didn't even notice at the time, but April 7th was
+the one year anniversary of me working on Topaz. Or at least, of the
+development work. In reality I'd spent weeks (maybe even months) studying Ruby,
+learning its quirks, and reading MRI, Rubinius, and JRuby source code to
+prepare myself.
+
+A year went by very quickly; before long other contributors were helping out,
+and we were starting to run more and more real Ruby code. Finally we were able
+to start running stuff that looked useful benchmarks, and then (more
+importantly) to start running `RubySpec`_, that was a big milestone.
+
+Finally, in February, we open sourced Topaz, and the response from the
+community has been incredible. So many of you have contributed pull requests,
+filed bugs, and given your feedback on all aspects of Topaz. It's been amazing
+to watch.
+
+With your help we now pass (at the time of writing) 3874 examples, and 10356
+expectations from RubySpec. And we're passing more every single day.
+
+If you're interested, I'd like to encourage you to
+:doc:`get involved </contributing>`, it's always a great time.
+
+The last year has been amazing, but I look forward to the next year even more,
+with your help we're going to make Topaz pass more specs and run more Ruby
+code, faster.
+
+Don't forget you can always download a `nightly build`_ and try Topaz out..
+
+And if you're looking for some fun, grab a copy of `the repository`_ and run
+``git log --reverse -p`` -- it's fascinating to watch Topaz come to life.
