281509 - Henry says the letter, ref DIP 7 0001, is an excellent demonstration
281510 - of how SDS works, and....
281511 -
281512 -      ....[SDS] is an important part of the domain where Doug's
281513 -      professional thinking roams, [and] seeks to approach his lifetime
281514 -      goal of establishing a capability of solving urgent, complex
281515 -      problems. ref DRT 1 4Z6K

281601 - Henry recalls in his letter today following points....
281602 -
281603 -   1. We did not discuss any further details about your
281604 -      contribution...
281605 -
281606 -          Seems to clarify that Henry does not anticipate the article
281607 -          covering Doug's ABC improvement ideas and CODIAK, cited in
281608 -          the record on 010811. ref SDS 20 U26F
281609 -
281610 -          SDS uses a flexible, explicit structure to form Knowledge
281611 -          Space that strives to transcend the paradigm of documents,
281612 -          cited recently in a case study on 010725. ref SDS 18 GL7J  On
281613 -          010517 Pat Lincoln observed this method, ref SDS 16 FH9O, and
281614 -          indicated it accomplishes an important objective in computer
281615 -          science. ref SDS 16 TY7F
281616 -
281617 -   2. Publishing project would serve as a model for an editorial policy
281618 -      on how to handle contributions from parties with a commercial
281619 -      interest.
281620 -
281621 -
281622 -   3. Article at the time of publication would include a (presumably
281623 -      short) critique by one with a purely professional interest plus a
281624 -      rebuttal by the author to address any possible erroneous or
281625 -      misleading statement innocently made.
281626 -
281627 -      Any further discussion would go to a traditional discussion
281628 -      forum. ref DRT 1 008M
281629 -
281630 -          Aligns with understandings on 010811. ref SDS 20 U33J

281635 - EIC Continuation of Colloquium at Stanford
281636 - Henry Plans for an Editorial Staff and Articles with Wide Appeal
281637 -
281638 -      As for the nature of articles in the e-journal, I perceive them
281639 -      not as typical academic articles, but more of a character
281640 -      palatable to a more general readership than we are accustomed to.
281641 -      Ideally, they should be written to capture interest and I hope we
281642 -      can find a way of bringing this about gradually through
281643 -      co-operation between authors and editors. (I am hoping we can
281644 -      form an editorial staff who can learn to deal with pride and
281645 -      prejudice in a persistently professional manner.), ref DRT 1 004N
281646 -
281647 -
281648 -  ..
281649 - Henry continues....
281650 -
281651 -      EIC is perceived as a continuation of the Colloquium held at
281652 -      Stanford.  A Colloquium by other means.  Early contributions on
281653 -      para 7 - 9I in Doug's 1992 paper, ref OF 1 1088, are planned.
281654 -      ref DRT 1 00GJ
281655 -
281656 -           Seems to align with understandings in the record on 010811.
281657 -           ref SDS 20 8N4F
281658 -
281659 -           Challenge is how to widen the audience?
281660 -
281661 -           Requires combination of notification, credibility and
281662 -           delivering attractive, worthwhile product.
281663 -
281664 -           A Colloquium at Stanford brings people to focus on new ideas
281665 -           through the entertainment value of being in a prestigious
281666 -           facility, among interesting people whom you can visit and
281667 -           network, to hear about larger than life matters, more or
281668 -           less, e.g., environment, world peace, which animated the
281669 -           team on 000120. ref SDS 5 1215
281670 -
281671 -           A Journal, particularly online requires study and diligence
281672 -           which are more difficult to marshal long enough for a new
281673 -           idea to register.  Hard to get this on TV, etc.
