Knowledge, Learning, Community
I think this is a really good article for people who are designing educational products or applications. There's the old adage that more heads are better, and that's true. But there's a big difference between designing by committee and designing by community. The big difference between the two is that in the latter, you don't have to accept everything everybody says. This allows your design to be consistent and to reflect genuinely important features, rather than the predilections of individual committee members you are not allowed to ignore.
