Experts should curate

The author argues that experts should spend more of their time organizing existing learning resources than producing new ones, since the main obstacle for learners is finding which guides to follow. Khan Academy's knowledge map of K–12 math is cited as an example of an authoritative map that saved learners that metawork, though it is now defunct and covered only first-party content. The Open Source Society University is described as a GitHub readme linking to free third-party sources, but it has only one to two maintainers, and its sections mostly lead to full EDX-style courses rather than modular content. The piece concludes that a better knowledge map needs a comprehensive, modular syllabus and a community of maintainers, and that its long-term sustainability will depend on who derives value from it.
