I am not surprised, but this does make my day :)
We've actually been posting about this quite actively in

and on mailing lists

and we engaged with multiple community members to help us test the extension in its early
form.
If there was some other form of communication that was missed then please let me know and
I'll make sure to include it for further projects.
I didn't meant that I am missing a form of communication. Actually I
missed the techblog, but that's a different story.
We were well aware of the idea that WMF and Pediapress wanted to work to
make ZIM in Collection extension happen. I expected that there will be a
lot of technical questions during the implementation phase which will
show up on dev-l, and that didn't happen - what is a good sign.
So we knew that there was an idea and WMF and PediaPress wanted to work
on it and it looks like the project wasn't ready yet - and suddenly,
it's done, it's here, it works... that's amazing.
