I was thinking the same thing last week. However I
then went looking again for WTP content and found very little. The main
problem here is lack of activity and lack of proposals... we have to work
with the submissions we've got. Interestingly all four of the talks you
mention are JPA talks, which does seem like an area with significant ongoing
activity. If I had to pick one of those four to add, I would pick 53.

Note also 330 is really an EclipseLink talk. The same
author (Shaun) has another EclipseLink talk in 245. Of those two, I still
think 245 is more interesting.  Tutorial 231 also touches on EclipseLink
and JPA configuration.

Aside, when talking about particular proposals, it
is very useful to give the link in addition to the talk id. If anyone knows
an easy way to lookup talks by id, I'd love to hear it.
