That's cool!! Can this be adapted for curriculums? I am a medical student and have been posting medical curriculum at https://github.com/aloo/hack_medicine

It totally could be, send me an email and we can discuss it.

I know it's a hot button topic, but my curiosity wants to apply this to higher education over the last 10-20 yrs. Do the assumptions of the problem allow for such an inference?

I don't know.
