I think we need to take stock on last year, now that 2015 is history, and what it meant for Traveller.
The biggest thing to hit this forum this year just gone was Mongoose Traveller 2.0 - something which, from what I could see, had been on the boards since before 2014, never mind 2015.
We also managed to finally see the ending of The Pirates of Drinax - an epic long in the making, and something I'd have loved to have been involved in, because it was for me the epitome of everything Traveller stood for.
One of the worst things this year, however, was that 2015 claimed one of our own. The late Don McKinney had been having problems for some time, and he succumbed to his condition in 2015, to the great grief of those who'd been working so closely with him to make Mongoose Traveller 2.0 a reality. Rest easy, Don.
We'll love and hate 2015, in the years to come. More hate than love - 2015 seemed to work so hard to cull the famous, killing off people right up to the wire. But it gave us a new Star Wars, and a new Traveller, and a fantastic season for Doctor Who, and a trailer for a forthcoming Star Trek that had us on the edge of our seats, hurling heavy objects at the screen.
Looking forward to the full non-playtest release of Mongoose Traveller 2.0, Mongoose High Guard 2.0 and Central Supply Catalogue 2.0 this year, and all that is to come. I just wish Don could be with us on the rest of this journey.

...even if a bit of bad timing has delayed it until 2016
