141103 - A few minutes after sending the above email, received a call from
141104 - Alon.
141106 -  ..
141107 - Alon explained having met several times with Doug, and he gave him a
141108 - CD to install BrowseUp on his computer for pilot testing.
141109 -
141110 -    This aligns with the report on 010127. ref SDS 33 567F
141112 -  ..
141113 - Alon got the impression at that time that Doug would support pilot
141114 - testing BrowseUp by SRI.
141116 -  ..
141117 - Recently, Doug has evidently indicated SRI is not taking up pilot
141118 - testing BrowseUp immediately, and may have in mind developing this
141119 - capability independently, using open source management methods, per
141120 - Doug's OHS Launch plan submitted on 001025. ref SDS 19 ADK1
141121 -
141122 -     This aligns with the report on 001017 that SRI plans to develop a
141123 -     better SDS program for knowledge management, using open source
141124 -     methods. ref SDS 18 9622
141125 - ..
141126 - Alon has related to Doug that it is difficult to create BrowseUp
141127 - technology; it takes a long time because the design is
141128 - counterintuitive.
141129 -
141130 -     On 990615 NSF was notified KM design counterintuitive, therefore
141131 -     government support justified, ref OF 3 4774, for research to
141132 -     demonstrate SDS has secret of KM. ref SDS 2 2808
141134 -      ..
141135 -     On 000608 counterintuitive design prevents programmers from
141136 -     discovering secret of KM. ref SDS 13 0452
141138 -      ..
141139 -     On 001004 OHS/DKR team was notified KM design is counterintuitive;
141140 -     hard to discover without experience using SDS.
141142 -      ..
141143 -     On 001127 letter to Eric Armstrong on Doug's OHS/DKR team advised
141144 -     that if the team does not use SDS as a template for developing KM,
141145 -     then they must be prepared for along development process that will
141146 -     require starting over many times to gain enough experience for
141147 -     discovering the secret of KM. ref SDS 23 TH9O
141149 -      ..
141150 -     On 001121 proposed OHS/DKR team gain experience using SDS to learn
141151 -     how to design KM, because KM is counterintuitive. ref SDS 21 XU8I
141153 -      ..
141154 -     On 001206 letter, ref DIP 2 0001, cites IBM's experience with
141155 -     their KM project failing shows KM is difficult, requires
141156 -     experience using SDS. ref SDS 24 0001
141158 -  ..
141159 - Alon is concerned that pilot testing BrowseUp seems more difficult
141160 - than indicated by Doug's initial reception, and subsequent
141161 - demonstration at SRI on 010122. ref SDS 30 CP7I
141162 -
141163 -     Alon's report appears to conflict to some degree with Doug's call
141164 -     for pilot testing of new ideas in his 1992 paper, which he cited
141165 -     on 991222 as the guiding principles of the OHS/DKR effort.

141170 -     BrowseUp. ref SDS 19 S57K

141173 -     On 010111 Doug planned to support pilot testing SDS by SRI.

141177 -     On 000829 Pat Lincoln reported that Curt Carlson prefers that SRI
141178 -     develop ideas internally. ref SDS 16 SY5F
141180 -  ..
141181 - Alon requested ideas for expediting review by SRI?

141186 -     1.  Jim Spohrer introduced BrowseUp to Doug, and so evidently
141187 -         thinks highly of this opportunity.
141188 -
141189 -         Jim has a good relationship with Doug, and so might be willing
141190 -         to discuss with Doug ideas for moving ahead to pilot test
141191 -         BrowseUp, based on Jim's reputation in the industry.

141197 -     2.  Pat Lincoln is the Director of Computer Science at SRI.  He
141198 -         has a strong desire to develop technology for improving
141199 -         collaboration, reported on 010111. ref SDS 27 EF6M  Pat has
141200 -         been a fair and honest broker getting new ideas considered,
141201 -         and so could be contacted about helping Doug complete review
141202 -         of BrowseUp toward starting a Pilot Test.
