Good news for all you rooted HTC Hero users out there, the developer aosp has released an almost completely stable Gingerbread (2.3) ROM. This is very exciting to see people working on getting users the newest Android OS before manufacturers do. So, if you happen to have a rooted Hero lying around, give this bad boy a shot.
