PLate OPtimizer 

In response to your request of 21 June 2009 about the notability of an article on the "PLate OPtimizer" program:  Cells for holding mirrors in telescopes is already a fairly obscure topic.  A program to design such cells is even more obscure.  And an article devoted to only one such program is very obscure.  The article doesn't make clear how widely this program is used; indeed, the article mentions a number of the program's shortcomings, which must limit its value.  The article on "PLate OPtimizer" should be included in the article on "Amateur Telescope Making," where it would be useful to mention that there is software available to aid in the design of telescopes  including "PLate OPtimizer".
