	What is PLNet.org?
	PLNet.org is a repository of open source software that is written in PL/SQL or is otherwise for the benefit of PL/SQL developers. You can read more about the project's background or read the FAQ.
	What's new at PLNet.org?
	May 2002 Rearranged the site. Made the catalog the opening page, and this page a subordinate. Removed links to Netmind, which is no longer free.
	April 2001 Published the first version of a simple catalog. Have a look! Decided to take a low-tech approach for now ~~Courtesy of Netmind, you can get emails when this page updates.~~
	September 2000 Here are the slides for a short presentation written for a October 2000 meeting of PL/SQL folks at Oracle OpenWorld 2000. Requires Adobe Acrobat reader. You can find this page at http://plnet.org. At least, it's supposed to work now. I made a little logo for the site (see above)
	How to contribute open source PL/SQL
	We don't yet provide a way to submit and manage your own entries, but if you send email I'll put your entry in the catalog.
	Catalog development status
	If you want to help build the repository system itself, there is a PLNet project created at SourceForge. At the moment we're using it mostly for distribution lists: plnet-announce for official announcements and plnet-discuss for unmoderated discussion.
	What the repository will contain
	See the list at left for a sample.
