Here i start:
Adobe asked all the Authors who contributed articles at Adobe to choose from available list of charities and they will going to donate US$100 on behalf of every Author.
I choose Care.org as i like them Fights global poverty , so i am feeling happy to be a part of this great initiative by Adobe, in total Adobe has donated $6000 in Q2 2008 and Adobe planned to Donate $28000 or $32000 by the end.
Just a few moments ago, ADC (Adobe Developers Connections) Blog has announced all this stuff, so i am quoting it here:
The Adobe Developer Connection (ADC) Write and Give Program gave $6000 USD to charities in the second quarter of 2008. The program acknowledges the writing efforts of our ADC community authors by giving US$100 to a charity for each author’s published article on ADC. Each author chooses his or her charity from a list of five preselected charities (listed below). In 2008, our goal is to give between $24,000-$32,000 to the following charities in recognition of the ADC authors. To our ADC authors, thank you for sharing your technical expertise with the greater developer community and helping other communities as well!
Read on to find out how much we gave in Q2 2008, and to see the list of authors for this quarter!
When there are less than the fully alloted authors in a given quarter, the ADC splits the remainder of the money between the charities. All donations are made at the end of the quarter.

OK, so most awaitied Version of Adobe Fireworks is on its way and you can download and test it… You’ll going to ask that whats new?
From Interface to speed, PDF export and much much more…
I am going to post my review soon, but lets see what Guys at Adobe have to say:
.
Existing users will immediately notice a complete refresh of Firework’s look and feel (see Figure 1). These changes maintain a common workspace layout with applications like Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator. With these changes, Fireworks becomes a full player within the Adobe Creative Suite. New users will enjoy the intuitive design that allows you to easily select and switch between tools.

You can’t fully appreciate the many changes to the Fireworks workspace until you jump in and starting using them. However, I’m guessing that these are the enhancements you will appreciate most:
Figure 2. Smart guides for easily positioning objects with other objects, including slices, without using the Align panel
That’s not all. Many small changes will greatly improve your precision, speed, and workflow with Fireworks.
One of the most frequent requests from users has been to improve the ability to open and save Photoshop documents with Fireworks. Fireworks CS4 beta really delivers in this area. Vectors now load completely intact, editable and with their correct appearance—including clipping masks. Fireworks now understands Photoshop color spaces, so there are no more unpredictable shifts in color.
The biggest improvement for Photoshop users will undoubtedly involve text creation and manipulation. With the addition of the Adobe type engine, text in Fireworks CS4 beta looks and behaves the same as Photoshop. With the text engine, Fireworks offers several new capabilities, including flowing text inside or along a path.
In-place editing means that you can precisely refine a symbol while keeping an eye on the larger picture of the canvas—just like Flash. Simply double-click a symbol to edit it directly on the canvas without leaving your artwork (see Figure 3).

Fireworks CS4 beta adds the ability to natively contain and share your design in the Acrobat PDF format, while preserving all interactivity. You can package and share an entire site design in a single document and send it out for review. By using PDF, you can be assured of the security of your design while allowing clients to view and edit.
Once you are satisfied with your design, Fireworks allows you to export to an external CSS style sheet in one step. Integrated foreground and background graphics with automatic margin and padding detection is contained in the CSS rules (see Figure 4). Creating clean and flexible CSS-based layouts is much improved in Fireworks CS4 beta.

This overview represents only a small number of the great new features in Fireworks CS4 beta, now available in Adobe Labs. Download the beta and let us know what you think. Help us shape the progress of this amazing tool. Try it in your work environment on your projects to experience the full effect of the new functionality. I’m looking forward to seeing the amazing work you can create using this latest version of Fireworks.
