[Craig Anslow]

Hi all,

The proceedings for PLATEAU are going ahead into the ACM DL.

There has been some interest from the public about one of the papers
at PLATEAU 2011.

An Empirical Comparison of the Accuracy Rates of Novices using the
Quorum, Perl, and Randomo Programming Languages.
Andreas Stefik, Susanna Siebert, Melissa Stefik and Kim Slattery

Here are some links I have come across:
