Alan, we hosted our DevCentral MVPs at the F5 Summit in Chicago earlier this week. After we wrapped our agenda for the day, the MVPs, a few F5 FSEs, the DevCentral team, and a couple core developers tackled your question in roundtable format. We'll get the video processed early next week and I'll post the link here. I hope it answers your questions.

Jason - looking forward to the video. I was at the summit but didn't get to spend enough time stalking the DevCentral folks.
