The results and final report of the "Plat_forms" international programming contest were released yesterday in a press conference in Nuremberg, and will be published today June 20th, 2007 on http://www.plat-forms.org/.
the results are now online (until now not linked from the start page): <http://www.plat-forms.org/2007/documents/platformsTR.pdf>I think we should publish this as wide as possible and always should mention the pros of the Perl teams (smallest code, easy to extend; see summaries beginning on pages 75 and 67).
I submitted a story on slashdot (text see below), perhaps they will take it. Others may do the same, or submit something similar on other websites.

The <a href="http://www.plat-forms.org/2007/documents/platformsTR.pdf";>results and final report</a> of the <a href="http://www.plat-forms.org/";>Plat_Forms</a> international web programming contest were published today. For each of the categories Perl, PHP and Java, three teams of three people each competed to produce a comprehensive "social networking" application in just 30 hours. <strong>A short summary of the results:</strong> The Perl teams produced the most compact code and their solutions are very easy to extend. One Java team produced by far the most complete solution overall, the other two by far the most incomplete ones. The Java solutions are very hard to extend. The PHP teams used no autogenerated files, resisted SQL injection attempts and created the most similar solutions. There are also some <a href="http://alvar.a-blast.org/plat_forms/";>pictures of the teams</a> and you can guess what language they are using ...
