that's good news!

just a note about the abstract: "and ten years in development"
well to be more precise, it's ten years mature technology for aolserver, for tcl a bit older I think, and for openacs and its roots its about 6-7y. and for .LRN probably about 3 years ...

Good news indeed (I was not expecting us to get a spot so late).

P.S. Roc, if we look at this whole project in man months we are likely up in the 50-100 year range ;)
The abstract plays on our "rich (Open)ACS heritage" (i.e. 6-10 years) that is one of our selling points. Regardless, it is nice to see investment into getting the word out starting to pay off.
