The Feyerabend Project is Richard P. Gabriel's attempt to repair the arena of software development and practice.
"Fifty years into the First Computing Era some of us in the computing arena have come to realize we’ve made a false start that can’t be fixed, and for us to finally be able to produce lasting, correct, beautiful, usable, scalable, enjoyable software that stands the tests of time and moral human endeavor, we need to start over. Perhaps we’ll be able to salvage some of what we’ve learned from the First Era, but I expect almost everything except the most mathematical fundamentals to be brushed aside."
To begin thinking about how such a reinvention can take place, Richard P. Gabriel have put together some small workshops: at ChiliPLoP, at EuroPLoP, at OOPSLA.
