PLP are (I think) Portable Library Projects

They're also called Portable Class Libraries

At the .Net level I think they are just class libraries which come with
guarantees that they will only reference certain limited framework subsets
(called profiles) which means you can safely use the same binary on SL,
Wp7, WinRT, and WPF... and also on MonoDroid and on MonoTouch

If you're a VS2010 and R# user then the big advantage is that you can have
one project file linked to all your projects - and you can do cross
platform refactoring.

Here's a good recent explanation -

Currently the picture's a little unclear as MonoDevelop has only just added
PLP version 1 support, while Microsoft have released PLP version 2 in Beta
along with VS11 - however, hopefully this will become a lot clearer soon -
as the benefits in getting these working are huge (IMO)
