1413 - Summary/Objective
1414 -
141401 - Follow up ref SDS 4 00VU, ref SDS 3 3995.
141402 -
141403 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Eugene Kim saying that doing a regular
141404 - summary of unrev-ii and ohs-dev would be an excellent exercise in
141405 - knowledge management.  They are already used effectively on a number
141406 - of open source mailing lists.
141407 -
141408 - Eugene feels this would be a tremendous way of making our list more
141409 - accessible and meaningfully indexing our archives.  I'd encourage
141410 - people who are looking for ways to contribute to the bootstrap efforts
141411 - to volunteer. ref DRT 1 QX6L
141412 -
141413 -     [On 001126 Eugene suggests document summaries can accomplish KM
141414 -     without using SDS. ref SDS 5 PK4N
141415 -
141416 - This initiative relates to a letter from Jack Park on 001102
141417 - discussing a meeting with Henry van Eykan at SRI, which is attached to
141418 - Eugene's letter. ref DRT 1 YY8F
141419 -
141420 - Henry evidently proposed summarizing the many threads/themes that have
141421 - passed through the Unrev2 mailing list.  It seems that this could be
141422 - handled in several ways, all of which includes necessity of passionate
141423 - editorial volunteers.  If I recall rightly, bootstrap.org has all
141424 - threads archived in hypermail (or words to that effect). ref DRT 1
141425 - P18O
141426 - ..
141427 - Jack was asked to canvas for volunteers to summarize the record.
141428 - ref DRT 1 F29L
141429 -
141430 - Jack's letter on 001102 requests people to take on some aspect of this
141431 - summarization task.
141432 -
141433 -     What are the varous "aspects" to be performed?
141434 -
141435 -        [On 001128 submitted letter to team. ref SDS 6 0001
141436 -     ..
141437 -     Is this part of the procedures for managing communications,
141438 -     e.g., meetings and correspdondence, which Doug requested on
141439 -     000427, as a Guide to Running NICs, ref SDS 2 2867, based on his
141440 -     1972 paper which he cited on 000327? ref SDS 1 3971
141441 -     ..
141442 -     Do the summaries, also, need organization?  Do we need
141443 -     subjects, or topics (catagories) for cross-referencing documents?
141444 -
141445 -     Eugene submits several Internet resources...
141446 -
141447 -         http://www.ddj.com/topics/pythonurl/
141448 -
141449 -         http://www.ddj.com/topics/tclurl/
141450 -
141451 -         http://www.freebsd.org/conspectus/
141452 -
141453 -     Review of these locations does not show how the proposed summary
141454 -     would be used to expedite the work.
141455 -
141456 -     Is the aim to produce an "abstract" of each email, and linked
141457 -     reference, for example web pages?
141458 -
141459 -     SDS records have a section for "Summary/Objective," and records
141460 -     automatically accumulate headings in a summary, including action
141461 -     items. that may accomplish some of this exercise.
141462 -
141463 -     SDS places documents in the chronology of various objectives and
141464 -     action items.  Documents are positioned in the context of other
141465 -     documents and daily work, as called out in Doug's 1972 paper
141466 -     explaining the Knowledge Workshop.
141467 -
141468 -        [On 001128 submitted letter to team with example of SDS doc
141469 -        log. ref SDS 6 0001
