The trick to this post Stephen… is that you’re not supposed to get to the end! 🙂

I’ll write another post on this soon… its a point that should have more focus put on it…

Usually the ‘gatekeeper’ is “involves the actions of persons or organizations, known as Gatekeepers, that manage or constrain the flow of knowledge and information” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gatekeeper) I, without bothering to address the change (oops) expanded that concept to include socio-personal issues that constrain the flow of knowledge for the individual. I think that we ourselves are the greatest inhibitors to our learning…

The reason I glossed over that (thanks for noticing) is that I’m really only an authority over what is stopping my access into things. The whole reason for running a project like this one is to do research into what is stopping these folks. I see too much Cartesian self reference when this comes up. “I remember when i first started to do this” and then extrapolating this to other people.
