While I'm at it, if you're still struggling to understand what all this new stuff is all about, you might like to visit the Commoncraft site.

I hope the above references and videos helped you to beat a path through the tangled jungle of concepts, acronyms and buzzwords, and that you soon reach a well earned "clearing of enlightenment."
