I think there is so much that xmca'ers could contribute. Here's how the first 2 sentences now read:
"Activity theory (AT) is a Soviet psychological meta-theory, paradigm, or framework, with its roots in socio-cultural approach. Its founders were Alexei Nikolaevich Leont'ev, and Sergei Rubinshtein (1889-1960). It became one of the major psychological approaches in the former USSR, being widely used in both theoretical and applied psychology, in areas such as the education, training, ergonomics, and work psychology"
Anyway, like open-source software, we each contribute a little and, in turn, we each receive far more.
