+There was discussion about BOLT being used for education, for example, modules for high-school teachers that use BOINC project science. David emphasized that BOLT is not designed for this. “ BOLT is just a framework for showing web stuff and seeing how useful it is for education.” But there was agreement that it could be useful to have a mechanism to generate useful educational material - funding sources like this!

+Distributed thinking

+Thinking cloud
