Questions are what bind us together in the Knowledge House. They provide spaces where we can share our observations, thoughts and experiences. Questions here have initially been generated by the [[Reinventing the Wheel]] series of talks. With time, some questions may seem to close around a shared answer, but this will only lead to another question.
