Some relevant quotes

Some relevant quotes to help with the positioning of the PCA.

We encounter the deep questions of design when we recognize that in designing tools we are designing ways of being. -- Winograd and Flores, 1986, p. xi.

[...] mastery resides not in the master but in the organization of the community of practice of which the master is part. -- Lave and Wenger, 1991, p. 94
