The projects either require many people that bring individual talents to the table, or they require few people that possess many talents. It’s cheaper to employ less people and outsource work, which is where some of the break down comes from.

There are also huge social justice implications that go beyond the web. Access to education and resources enable youth to learn the skills necessary to contribute to the web. I think it goes without saying that these resources are not spread evenly on a global scale.
