'Twas brillig, and Matthew Patterson at 16/06/09 04:09 did gyre and gimble:

For a while now Matt I've been interested in creating a "Recipes" 
section on the PA website so talk about more advanced uses of PA. It 
would be great if you could write up a blog article or similar and then 
we can link it on the PA website. Or feel free to create a page directly 
on the PA website if you like!! If you don't have time, don't worry. I 
completely appreciate the effort involved in writing up these things :)
