The document discusses collaborative design processes for developing open source software like Plone. It provides examples of how other communities have used techniques like design charrettes to bring together stakeholders from across disciplines early in the design process. This allows for whole-system thinking and getting input and buy-in before coding begins. The document then has attendees at a Plone conference brainstorm ways to make the Plone development process more collaborative, such as activities to generate broader engagement from stakeholders.
