An open collaborative platform for education. Something along the lines of OpenCourseWare. I feel like that should be the future if it isn't already in sight.

An open collaborative platform for education. Something along the lines of OpenCourseWare. I feel like that should be the future if it isn't already in sight. I'm of the school of thought that puts educating people as a top concern, and the more readily available and collaborative it is, the better it can be for everyone.

Selling things to .edu institutions is a royal pain in the neck. Couldn't tell if this is non-profit pie-in-the-sky idea or for-profit venture, but if it is the latter, best of luck :)

  Likely the former, heh.

  maybe there are applications for enhanced training within companies, or even to sell on the cheap to college students themselves that want a better group-study environment for when they can't meet up. you don't have to sell bulk licenses.

I'm of the school of thought that puts educating people as a top concern I like to think that the reason our industry has taken off so well is because the things we work with are available to kids to play with. I notice that a lot of the big brains in CompSci follow your mentality, also - Woz and Alan Kay come to mind.
