Update the Design Principles with some addressment of our public benefit company mission

awolfinthewind commented 8 years ago

Context

Learners Guild is a public benefit company. In the interest of making sure our Design Principles are in alignment with this, I would like to call for them to address inequities and inaccessibility currently preventing a dignified livelihood for all.

Criteria

Inequities (social, economic, racial, etc) addressed in Design Principles Inaccessibility addressed in Design Principles

Principles razor

[x] Cultivate a learning community.
[ ] Prioritize scale over quality
[x] Align incentives
[x] Build a team game
[x] Trust people's intentions and potential
[x] Enable self-organization & self-determination
[ ] Map feedback loops
[ ] Optimize for agility
[x] Simulation not preparation
[x] Sustain the tension between individual and collective gain

We need to update the principles if they stand alone as the only thing we consider for designing the los. What's needed imo is to clarify that they stand along with our business purpose, player experience goals, and game objectives.
