I am exploring the ways in which this can be applied to the construction of software, and in particular to user interfaces. I recently wrote an introductory chapter about this for a book about free software ("open source"), and gave a presentation at the 2011 Desktop Summit in Berlin: Chapter - http://people.gnome.org/~federico/misc/software-with-qwan.pdf Presentation - http://people.gnome.org/~federico/docs/2011-Desktop-Summit/qwan/html/index.h... I'm happy to say that this presentation got a very good reception by my peers in the free software community. Feel free to share it around; it is Creative-Commons licensed.
