UKIDSS is now roughly half finished, covering several thousand square degrees, and expected to complete by the middle of 2012. So far 13.5 billion rows of data have been downloaded by several hundred users, resulting in 154 publications concerning high-z quasars, the nearest and coolest brown dwarfs, the evolution of galaxies, the sub-stellar mass function, and many other topics. I summarise the origins and status of UKIDSS, and briefly describe some scientific highlights.
