2913 - Summary/Objective
2914 -
291401 - Follow up ref SDS 59 0000, ref SDS 56 0000.
291402 -
291403 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 from Frode Hegland who offers a proposal for
291404 - moving toward knowledge management based on an idea he has recently
291405 - formed.
291406 -
291407 - Frode says there can be more structure in reading and composing
291408 - messages on a Web based mailing list than with email. ref DRT 1 175H
291409 -
291410 - He points out that web pages almost provide as much structure and
291411 - functionality as a free standing application, whereas email is dumb
291412 - text which can be parsed/interpreted by a server to a severely limited
291413 - degree, and can, by definition, not supply diynamic or live
291414 - functionality, such as scrolling a thread. ref DRT 1 V75K
291415 -
291416 - Frode contends a further problem with a Web based interface is that
291417 - people forget to go to the Web site to constantly check what's been
291418 - posted. ref DRT 1 W76G
291419 - ..
291420 - Frode maintains that, considering most InBoxes today are capable
291421 - of understanding HTML, maybe it's time to combine the two, as
291422 - follows...
291423 -
291424 -     1.  Users who want a message or a digest subscription only get a
291425 -         Subject and link to the actual message in their email.
291426 -         ref DRT 1 HL6J
291427 -
291428 -     2.  Click to get access to the discussion which actually takes
291429 -         them to the Web page, for dynamic, controlled, mailing list
291430 -         optimized interface with the mailing list.Live dynamic
291431 -         threading, proper quoting etc. ref DRT 1 ML7F
291432 -
291433 - Frode requests comments on an OHS quality mailing list system, adopted
291434 - concurrently the Hyperscope, could go a long way towards strengthening
291435 - the community and starting coding and community bootstrapping.
291436 - ref DRT 1 0O7M
