Thank you, everyone!
This year should be very interesting. POE's events core is mainly stable, giving developers the opportunity to work on improvements in its component architecture. We are intensely researching technologies for object design, representation, transportation, and deployment, with an eye towards how they might benefit POE and its users.
Design documents are available online at http://poe.perl.org/ . Developers are discussing the finer points of UML, XMI, HUTN, and other acronyms on POE's mailing list. You're welcome to join us.
About POE
