For those of us who have been motivated by the thinking in books like "wikinomics" and "the world is flat", there is a clear need for a better school curriculum and a better way of producing it. I have always found the open source model in which enthusiasts come together to create better free software like "Linux" (the free operating system) inspiring. What if educators and stakeholders in education came together to write an "open source" curriculum, for want of a better word, a "Learnux" project; would it be useful? Actually that is impossible to answer, but I hope it would be directly useful and if nothing else inspirational for thos who are currently writing the new learning agenda's to help us to:

(Delors et al, The Treasure Within)
 * Know
 * To do
 * To live together
 * To be

What do our children and young people need to learn and how will we support that learning? Please contribute under these 4 headings of the //Delors// report and we'll see where it goes.
