Vision notes contains a more full list of ideas.
3 year vision: emergent learning models
The school server has the potential to amplify the Teacher, Parent & Librarian, as a laptop can amplify a Student's potential:
1. Strengthen connectivity to global Internet.
2. Deepen collaboration between Students, Teachers & Mentors.
3. Promote quality content from all.
4. Trusted intl ecosystem of diverse contributors.
1 year vision: seed community architecture
The school server project will be a healthy standalone project, which can be implemented directly, or adapted for special situations by 3rd parties.
1. 100 hack implementers, at least 4 deployments with the potential for 10,000 users.
2. Emphasis on working code, modularity, and core services.
3. Quarterly releases while the project is being tested and used by early adopters.
4. Feedback, fix, finished product.
Community Design
Design documents: Design Document, Use cases, and Release Priorities. See also latest Spec and Roadmap within the above.
