"The Open Slate project offers a radically new approach to software development called Chalk Dust, which intends to overcome the limitations of the commercial model. The Chalk Dust process leverages the open source development model, the peer review process used in the academic world, and a mentor system that connects students and teachers across all experience levels...
...Ultimately, Chalk Dust applications will replace textbooks. Web sites have already begun to compete with traditional print media as sources of information, and will continue to be a valuable resource in the Open Slate world. In fact, a Chalk Dust application could be built using web technology. What distinguishes Chalk Dust is the systematic inclusion of advisors, editors and reviewers, and the use of college students as developers."
