@pyg @jibe_jeybee @Chocobozzz @framasoft @resonatecoop please consider getting independent content creators involved in the design. I believe that the protocols and software must balance the collective rights and needs of both consumers and creators.

Code Next Opens in Oakland, creating diversity through Constructionism

"From a design point of view it is a truly unique experience that very much leans on an educational theory known as constructionism. This codified curriculum will soon be available to the entire world as an open source."

I love how this succinctly captures the values I hold dear. Delightful design based on open principles with recognition of human effort. I have a copy printed out at my desk.

Didn't realize I was doing "ledgers" way back at the University of Minnesota. As you can see we weren't that excited writing line-of-business apps. Also funny how Privacy Enhanced Mail never took off. Pity that.

Here's the executive summary for Forms Nirvana from an old design doc:

This document describes an open-architecture forms routing and approval system suitable for routing requests through a multi-person authorization chain. Once a request has been authorized, the completed request can be automagically submitted to another system (for example, the financial system for posting to the general ledger). While WWW is initially envisioned as the vehicle for user interaction with the system, the request routing logic is separated from user presentation so that other technologies (such as E-mail with digital signatures) can be used as well. Provisions are also made for entities other than human signers to be part of the authorization chain, so consistency checks can be automatically applied to the form's content.
