Can "documents and deliverables" create change?

I’m really intrigued by the push that we have in education to "create documents" in order to try and bring about change within others. I wonder if we should, instead, focus on the conversations and the communities that rise up around the documents. I wonder if we should learn how to focus on the process rather than the product of these deliverables. And if so, how should we do it?

Discourse: A New Open Sourced Web Forum Platform

I wonder about the need for a new web forum platform when you have the ability to do this within social media, but I think the idea of a forum built with Ruby on Rails is compelling. It is definitely a step up from forums that are still dogged by legacy issues. Also, I like the name of the product.
