Scott Wilson has posted a damn fine summary of a damn fine PLE workshop:

I've had a pretty good two days at the PLE workshop. Some very interesting ideas from the participants - looking back I think we were extremely lucky to get such a varied, knowledgeable, and positively engaged group - and I actually managed to do a demo without getting a firewall/proxy/gateway/dns related problem.

No doubt there will be a much more detailed wrote-up at some point; for now I think I'll just note a few things I found interesting...

I enthusiastically endorse Scott's outline of the important issues and the emerging points of consensus. I had a wonderful (if exhausting) time at both days, and feel very positive about the emergence of a developer/practitioner community with some real vision and momentum. I've had to put nose to grindstone since the meeting, hammering out design and project work, and I won't have a chance to write extensively on the subject for a while. Let me just say what a pleasure it was to participate in such a focused and productive meeting with people as smart and long-sighted as Scott and Oleg.
