According to this message thread in the Doomworld forums, id Software may well be getting ready to show off more of the new Doom game under development at the 2001 QuakeCon, which will be in August, from the 9th to th 12th. They are also expected to show off Doom running on the GBA and possibly Quake 4, to be developed on Microsoft's X-Box.
Rethcir noticed that the JDoom page has moved to a Newdoom virtual host at http://jdoom.newdoom.com/, and that its author, Jaakko Keränen has returned from his Army service. Jaakko mentions that over the next two months he'll be relaxing and doing a lot of coding, so we likely can expect more JDoom news in the immediate future. Thanks Rethcir.

Oops, almost forgot to mention this: the pack for this week's Speedmapping has been posted. This week's theme was to make a new final level for Doom 2, although the theme is a little more in-depth (read the text file for more on that). Make sure and go over to the Speedmapping page and check it out, as some of these finale levels are quite cool, especially for being made in two hours.
