1210 - Summary/Objective
1211 -
121101 - Follow up ref SDS 91 0000, ref SDS 89 0000.
121102 -
121103 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Eugene and the OHS/DKR team responding to
121104 - Eugene's letter, ref DRP 5 0001, to the OHS team, and commenting on
121105 - issues in the letter, ref DIP 5 0001, on 010201, ref SDS 89 CM8N, that
121106 - responded to Eugene's letter on transition from traditional character
121107 - based literacy in China, ref DRP 4 0001, to alphabet technology
121108 - supported by IT.
121109 -
121110 -
121111 -    1.  Thank Eugene for taking the time to provide feedback reported
121112 -        on 010205, ref SDS 91 1A7J, cooborating and corrrecting the
121113 -        record to strengthen accuracy. ref DIT 1 0001
121114 -
121115 -        Cite stock market woes that reduce time available for effective
121116 -        feedback, per record on 001207. ref SDS 81 V54M
121117 -
121118 -        ..
121119 -    2.  Feedback is critical for building a culture of knowledge
121120 -        that transitions from IT to KM, ref DIT 1 5N6M, per analysis on
121121 -        010205, ref SDS 91 LW4M, and previously on 010201, ref SDS 89
121122 -        4Y9O, citing POIMS, ref OF 1 2200, and NWO. ref OF 2 0936
121123 -        ..
121124 -        The record on 010205 identifies team members contributing
121125 -        to the OHS project. ref SDS 91 BV6F, which Eugene requested in
121126 -        his letter on that date. ref DRP 5 GQ3H
121127 -
121128 -
121129 -    3.  Delayed feedback runs the risk of causing harm or missing
121130 -        ephermeral opportunities. ref DIT 1 RE8G
121131 -
121132 -        Apologize delayed response today, 36 days after to Eugene's
121133 -        letter on 010205. ref DIT 1 UG9H  Explain delay was due to....
121134 -
121135 -        a.  work on new computer reported on 010202. ref SDS 90 0001

121144 -    4.  Eugene's work reported on....
121145 -
121146 -            010131, providing anchors, and tools for KM. ref SDS 88
121147 -            HO4F,
121148 -
121149 -            010201. explaining challenge of transitioning from
121150 -            traditional Chinease character-based literacy, to alphabet
121151 -            technology supported by IT. ref SDS 89 CM8N
121152 -
121153 -            010205, providing feedback, ref SDS 91 TE5O,
121154 -
121155 -        ...helps build a culture of knowledge essential for
121156 -        transitioning from IT to KM, ref DIT 1 5N6M, per the record
121157 -        under point 2, ref SDS 0 U59G, and as submitted in a letter,
121158 -        ref DIP 2 0001, to SRI on 001011. ref SDS 54 0001
121159 -
121160 -        ..
121161 -    5.  Synergy between doing KM and creating useful tools can
121162 -        reduce time required to discover the secret of KM. ref DIT 1
121163 -        GR4M  This supports Doug's call for getting software enginers
121164 -        to work on KM tools, so they can develop the synergy to improve
121165 -        the technology, reported on 000326, ref SDS 22 5972, which was
121166 -        proposed again during a meeting at SRI on 000406, ref SDS 26
121167 -        5078.  Later on 000830 software development practices were
121168 -        discussed, but without identifying the core problem that
121169 -        engineers do not know what to engineer that improves
121170 -        management. ref SDS 46 UZ5I
121171 -
121172 -        It has proven difficult to discover the secret of KM, as
121173 -        reported by Eugene on 000615. ref SDS 39 6271  Tom Landauer
121174 -        makes the same point in his book "The Trouble with Computers,"
121175 -        reviewed on 950710. ref SDS 5 3375
121176 -
121177 -             [On 010924 Morris Jones discussed this advantage that
121178 -             enabled SDS to be developed. ref SDS 94 NK4J
121179 -
121180 -        It has, also, proven difficult to get software engineers
121181 -        started on this path for the reasons cited by Eric Armstrong on
121182 -        000614. ref SDS 38 5826 and ref SDS 38 1938  On 000227 Eric
121183 -        thought software engineering could be a good application for
121184 -        KM. ref SDS 19 1248
121185 -        ..
121186 -        Using tools to discover how to build them causes a lot of
121187 -        emotional tension due to limited time reported in a letter to
121188 -        the team, ref DIP 1 006P, on 000920, ref SDS 47 GQ5J  This
121189 -        aligns with POIMS explanation of tension between thinking and
121190 -        doing. ref OF 1 2049  Desire to avoid tension, may explain why
121191 -        people seem discouraged about developing KM. ref DIT 1 373F
121192 -
121193 -        ..
121194 -    6.  Eugene's request in his letter on 010131 for feedback to
121195 -        his ideas for OHS requirements, ref SDS 88 XZ8G, shown in the
121196 -        same record on 010131, ref SDS 88 XW9N, and stated again in his
121197 -        letter on 010205, ref SDS 91 RH9L, is provided in the letter
121198 -        today. ref DIT 1 QE3F
121199 -
121200 -        On 010205 Eugene asked about comparing his requirements with
121201 -        Eric's CDS specs. ref SDS 91 RP4F  The record on 000505
121202 -        reviewing Eric's submission may be of interest. ref SDS 33 0001
121203 -        ..
121204 -        Note Doug's call from Bootstrap mission reviewed on
121205 -        991222, ref DIT 1 V14M, for a "whole new way of thinking."
121206 -        ref SDS 16 3696  Eric's CDS requirements reviewed on 000505
121207 -        needed to show how Doug's goal is accomplished. ref SDS 33 0E5K
121208 -        This requires understanding the architecture of human thought,
121209 -        explained in POIMS, ref OF 1 0561, and revealed by using SDS
121210 -        proposed to the team on 001121. ref SDS 73 XU8I
121211 -
121212 -        Support Eugene's idea, ref DIT 1 6O4K, in his letter on 010205,
121213 -        ref DRP 5 KA8L, to simplify initial OHS requirements,
121214 -        ref SDS 91 UB5M, IAW letter to Eric Armstrong on 001122.
121215 -        ref SDS 74 WP8H
121216 -
121217 -    8.  OHS requirements need to be aligned with architecture of human
121218 -        thought, ref DIT 1 VS5N, explained in POIMS. ref OF 1 0561
