ISWA 2008 Final & the PersonalPuddle

[Ingvild Roald]

Thank you, Steve and Valerie, 

for your huge work on this. Now we will have a great tool for future use, and hopefully this will help spred the good message even further.

As for the personal and pocket puddles: I understand that it will be possible to import from netbased puddles to these local puddles. Will the opposite also be true: that after working offline, it will be possible to export the work to an online puddle? This would be greatly appreciated,

Ingvild
