It made for a fun Q&A, with me attempting to transcribe questions in Skype's chat box as they were posed - credit to Jill for managing to understand and respond despite the typos! I'm now scanning the Twitter stream and thought I'd share a selection of the tweets as a summary of our talk. (The slides from our talk are on [Slideshare](http://bit.ly/erl15carje)).  Many thanks to all our tweeters, and indeed to all the audience for their patience with the technology challenges!
