Would AIA form a committee to investigate an open source platform for digital design? Seems like a perfect way to use some of the $500 membership I pay. I know there are several such programs in an infant stage (vis-a-vis Revit) already.
I'll donate to software development, just like I do to wikipedia and NPR. Design belongs (de facto) in the commons.
