    Educational tools should be as open and hackable as possible. Even more reason why Design-led Open Source is essential for our future.

        @aral every time I ask you to contribute your design to some open source you have some excuse :P

        @janl Design is not something you can contribute. Product has to be design-led. Would I lead such a product? Yes. :)

        @aral if you can’t think in “contribute”, you don’t get open source. You just contribute your way into leadership.

        @aral Are there examples of really good design-led open source projects though?

        @aral I remember using hyperlinks in MS Word to get around RM Education security in my secondary school - back in the good old days
