Arianne has ranked highly on activity over the year on SourceForge. For some weeks we've been ranked as highly as 2nd place, and are often in the top 25 each week. In 2010 we entered the top 50 all time activity ranks, too.

For another year we welcomed new developers to the project, this year <player>storyteller</player>, <player>Laguz</player>, <player>Bluelads4</player> and <player>omero</player>, all of whom started as Stendhal players. Other developers who continued to contribute in 2010 are <player>hendrik</player>, <player>kymara</player>, <player>kiheru</player>, <player>madmetzger</player>, <player>yoriy</player>, <player>plassy</player>, <player>tigertoes</player> and <player>axelf|martinf</player>.

Community involvement has been high over the year, with players organising some really nice [[Stendhal Events]] such as quizzes, games and a special Tournament in the Spring. Players have also contributed by making bug reports and suggesting ideas for improvement, and of course just by playing and being part of the world :)


In 2010, we announced 13 Stendhal releases and 7 Marauroa releases (with some minor bug fix releases too).

In March we celebrated Arianne's 10 year birthday and Stendhal's 5th year with a 4 day [[Arianne_Project_Meeting_2010|conference]] in Hannover, Germany. We also held development meetings in game, to consult with and inform players about Stendhal development, developers meetings in {{irc-arianne}} and a social meeting in the summer. Many of the meetings have [[Stendhal Meetings|write ups]].

Our websites [http://arianne.sf.net arianne.sf.net] and [http://stendhalgame.org stendhalgame.org] both saw a lot of improvements. A lot of information for example about the different [StendhalAtlas|regions] and [Stendhal Dungeons|dungeons] has been added. It is now possible to link multiple character together into one account with one password. A login history makes it easy to spot unauthorized access. We improved the character pages by adding details on equipped items and you can filter the hall of fame for your friends. Last but not least postman messages are now available on the website for all the characters of your account.

Stendhal webstart and updates are now signed with a verified java code certificate carrying the name of the project! We were happy to discover free of charge certificates for Open Source Projects from http://certum.eu/certum/cert,offer_java_code_signing.xml and we had the opportunity to change our update package so we used the new certificate at t
