Lots going around late today about Adam Bosworth‘s closing keyonte (links to audio) at the MySQL conference. I enjoyed Ryan Tomayko’s writeup most, especially this deceivingly simple line:
Systems that were designed through observation of the web and/or in adherence to the core principles of the web must be more suitable to the web than those that were not.
This recognition will either make or break the entire open education movement, including eduCommons and the OpenCourseWares.
Right.
And yet it is astonishing how many projects have at their core some motivation to ‘fix’ some aspect of those core principles.
