4515 -
451501 - Follow up ref SDS B1 0000, ref SDS A7 0000.
451502 -
451503 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 to Pat Lincoln at SRI proposing he use our
451504 - notebook computer, c12, for a week or so to pilot test SDS.

451508 -       [On 011101 ask Morris about IP issues on this. ref SDS B3 0001

451514 -    1.  Eric Armstrong's comments on 010917 about SDS being an amazing
451515 -        system that obviously works, then pulled back feeling only Rod
451516 -        can use SDS. ref SDS A3 DU5M
451517 -
451518 -    2.  This reflects fear that prevents progress.  People are afraid
451519 -        of learning something new.  That is understandable, but needs
451520 -        to be addressed with evidence from respected voices that anyone
451521 -        can use SDS. ref DIT 1 FN6K
451522 -
451523 -        A simple, effective solution is for a few SDS records to show
451524 -        up on the Internet with "Pat Lincoln" on them instead of Rod
451525 -        Welch; that would help dispel the excuse that only Rod can do
451526 -        it. ref DIT 1 9N6O

451528 -    3.  We recently got a report from Wayne Wetzel who has been using
451529 -        SDS since about 1992. ref SDS 97 WJ7L

451531 -    4.  For this experiment, you can use my SDS records that have stuff
451532 -        relevant to OHS/DKR, and our back and forth the past year.
451533 -        Having an existing body of work makes SDS a lot easier to test
451534 -        functionality, rather than having to start from scratch.

451537 -    5.  This could position you to move forward on the endorsement we
451538 -        have been discussing, ref DIT 1 XV9H, submitted on 010711,
451539 -        ref SDS 92 0001, and discussed on 011015, ref SDS B1 0001, or
451540 -        justify standing down on that initiative. If we continue to
451541 -        wait, you will be writing another letter worrying about lack of
451542 -        collaboration, per your letter on 010111. ref SDS 68 EF6M
451543 -
451544 -    6.  Using SDS on a notebook computer is not ergonomically efficient
451545 -        for production work; but, it is probably good enough to
451546 -        discover the magic of the SDS design. Since it only takes a
451547 -        click to create stuff for the web, this is not rocket science.

451550 -    7.  If this sounds doable, I can bring the thing down and give you
451551 -        a 20 minute lesson on how to fire things up, with one simple
451552 -        requirement.  If you get stuck, don't give up, call and ask how
451553 -        to do thus and so.  Everything in SDS is simple, but the basic
451554 -        process is counterintuitive, so people get stuck on little
451555 -        things that only take a second to resolve. ref DIT 1 LX5G
