Well, folks, we have about 3 days remaining until the preferred Pledge deadline (although we will undoubtedly extend this deadline for anyone wishing to submit a pledge, the idea was that working to a deadline should help spur pledges).  So if you haven't pledged an app yet for NANY 2012, please do so!  And if you can't pledge it until next week (or later), we still want it, by all means!

Having encouraged your participation, let me give a synopsis of the pledges we've had to date.  In the following list, you'll see the name (sometimes only a temporary name) of the application that has been pledged, then the author's name in parentheses, then in squiggly-brackets the total number of unwithdrawn pledges by that author.  As with the Pledge Deadline, the limit on the number of pledges is only a guideline, not a strictly enforced rule.  This is a competition with the goals of fun and creativity above all else.  Out of that we always wind up with many quite useful applications that draw attention to themselves from all over cyberspace!

That's 23 pledges, to date!  Awesome!!  Last year, we finished with 24 NANY apps.  It looks quite likely that we will beat that this year  :D

Let me just once again extend a huge thank-you to all the authors who have pledged, to date, and let me greatly encourage everyone reading this to pledge any idea you may have for an application.  It's a great community-building event.  I have three NANY mugs on my desk to attest to that, and will soon add a fourth!

Regards, and Happy coding!!

The original arbitrary goal I set was 50 pledges. No reason it shouldn't instead have been 40, or 60. So we're gonna come pretty close to that original number. Although, of course, the important thing is the releases themselves, and not how many there are. Still, I echo your comment, cranio  :D
