Mike and Bernd currently attend the DevCon Europe 2004 (German site). They are presenting two talks - one is an overview of #develop, the other an in-depth talk on the architecture of #develop. To better visualize the idea of the addin infrastructure, Mike revamped the Addin Scout.

The addin view in contrast tells you exactly what tree nodes are extended by an addin.

Pretty neat tool for explaining the concept of the addin tree.
