Overall it's a good workshop. A few people come in from out of town, but I estimate that 80-90% of the attendees this year came from BYU, the Church, or Ancestry. I think it would be _much_ better if there were an effort driving people to work together on shared efforts. I've only attended a few of the workshops, but I'm not aware of a single presentation that has had a broad impact outside the workshop - that has made the jump from workshop presentation to website/software feature available to the general public (except of course presentations from organizations about what they're already doing).
