241410 - Submitted email response with copy to Morris and linked to this
241411 - record, and listing following pending issues....
241412 -
241413 -     1.  Developing collaboration between you and Morris, if possible.
241414 -         ..
241415 -     2.  Plans for joining forces, including initial scope.  What
241416 -         is the big picture, and what steps can be taken within means
241417 -         available to make progress?
241418 -
241419 -     3.  Ownership participation for Gary, which may need a bit more
241420 -         analysis by Gary to confirm SDS is the right direction, and,
241421 -         if so, giving him the SDS program to learn and use.  Some how,
241422 -         some way, getting him some support.
241423 - ..
241424 - Gary does not say anything about contacting Morris, which is an
241425 - express action item, ref DIP 11 TF4F, reported on 020104. ref SDS G4
241426 - SS5I
241427 -
241428 - When I called Morris on 020104, he indicated not having heard from
241429 - Gary.
241430 -    ..
241431 -    In the call on Friday, Morris confirmed my sense from the
241432 -    meeting with Terry Winograd on 011219, and from working with Doug's
241433 -    group the past two years, that there is no class of software for
241434 -    SDS.
241435 -
241436 -    SDS is not a PIM, although it does a lot of that stuff.  It is not
241437 -    AI, although it augments intelligence.  We could use KM, but that
241438 -    is falling on hard times, per Pat Lincoln on 010426, ref SDS C2
241439 -    657O
241440 -    ..
241441 -    Actually, I like KM because it is a simple explanation for
241442 -    moving beyond IT, which is our goal, per POIMS. ref OF 1 HO4H
241443 -
241444 -    We could call SDS an Enterprise Management program, although that
241445 -    too is running out of gas, like KM.
241446 -    ..
241447 -    In our call on 020104, Morris proposed describing SDS as
241448 -    "structured wordprocessing," which isn't too bad, because it
241449 -    encompasses the organization that Bill DeHart cited in our call on
241450 -    000709, ref SDS 72 0052, and it is similar to "Wordprocessing in
241451 -    Context" which I explained in a letter to Morris on 010226.
241452 -    ref SDS A8 TE3F
241453 -
241454 -    Of course wordprocessing does not encompass contacts and data base
241455 -    aspects of the SDS "plan, perform, report" design that manages
241456 -    multiple users, multiple projects, and multiple subjects, etc.,
241457 -    which Morris calls the Welch Management Method, in our call on
241458 -    911123. ref SDS 6 0477
241459 -
241460 -    Maybe Gary can propose something on this.

241464 - Gary says today....
241465 -
241466 -    1.  Sorry about not providing explicit links, but there is nothing
241467 -        like "purple numbers" in the standard documents, so the best I
241468 -        could do was to quote from the papers to provide context.

241486 -               record. ref SDS G7 6F8N
241487 -
241488 -               [On 020320 notified Gary about adding feature for
241489 -               entering redundant links to internal anchors that
241490 -               facilitate copying a link address in order to connect
241491 -               correspondence to knowledge space. ref SDS G8 0001
241492 -           ..
241493 -           Anchors are on every heading and most paragraphs in
241494 -           SDS records, and on every paragraph in correspondence and
241495 -           other external reports cited in SDS records.  Anchors can be
241496 -           determined with the browser feature using the right mouse
241497 -           click to open a menu and selecting "View Source."  This
241498 -           procedure shows that the anchor for this para is....

241502 -           It is easy to capture the entire Internet address for a
241503 -           source by right clicking to highlight contents of the
241504 -           location bar, and then selecting "Copy" from the menu that
241505 -           pops up.  Paste this in an email and then append the anchor
241506 -           from procedure above.  This takes about 10 seconds or so to
241507 -           provide a link for quoted text.  In something like POIMS and
241508 -           NWO it takes a little longer, because they are big docs, but
241509 -           I use the procedure, and find at most it takes about 20
241510 -           seconds.
241511 -
241512 -              [On 020107 Gary plans to try this procedure, and asks to
241513 -              confirm it will work for files that are external to SDS.

241544 -           Experience Using SDS Builds Faith for Culture of Knowledge
241545 -
241546 -           Hopefully, Gary's considerations will not take too much
241547 -           longer.
241548 -
241549 -              [On 020107 Gary plans to contact Morris relatively soon,
241550 -              and recognizes a lot of questions about SDS will be
241551 -              answered by using it. ref SDS G5 CT5L and ref SDS G5
241552 -              0001
241553 -
241554 -           Hopefully, there is enough faith without chasing down every
241555 -           conceivable issue, to move forward.  Existence of SDS
241556 -           records showing a seminal design that is effective, as
241557 -           reported on 010907, ref SDS D4 KX3L, justifies efforts to
241558 -           enable others to use SDS, as an extension of the alphabet
241559 -           for reasons set out below. ref SDS 0 394M
241560 -           ..
241561 -           Additional incentive offered to Gary is ownership in
241562 -           SDS that may bring remuneration, recognition, and
241563 -           satisfaction of advancing civilization by improving alphabet
241564 -           technology.
241565 -
241566 -           We can explain theory, per POIMS, but no one understands the
241567 -           theory of alphabet technology, and many seem to be afraid of
241568 -           cognitive science, per meeting with Terry at Stanford on
241569 -           011219. ref SDS F9 4P6H
241570 -
241571 -           We can calculate cost savings, as USACE did on 971007,
241572 -           ref DRP 8 0001, But, since no one has ever calculated cost
241573 -           savings for alphabet technology, it is difficult for people
241574 -           to follow a calcualation of cost savings using SDS.
241576 -            ..
241577 -           Therefore, some initial faith must register in order for SDS
241578 -           to move forward.

290628 -                 per record on 011211. ref SDS F3 NH5I  Since alphabet
290629 -                 technology makes people "superhuman," reported on
290630 -                 010622, ref SDS C7 N668, it follows that improving
290631 -                 this capability should be an important advance, i.e.,
290632 -                 a killer app.
290634 -                  ..
290635 -             2.  Alphabet technology, commonly called "literacy," and
290636 -                 reading and writing, is taught without any effort to
290637 -                 explain theory or cost savings.  The people who teach
290638 -                 the alphabet don't understand the theory and are never
290639 -                 asked to prove cost savings.  The people taught the
290640 -                 alphabet are mostly small children, and so have no
290641 -                 ability to object by asking how the alphabet works and
290642 -                 asking for proof of cost savings, relative to talking
290643 -                 and looking a pictures on television.  Literacy is
290644 -                 forced on children based solely on faith because
290645 -                 centuries have shown it is effective even though no
290646 -                 one has ever produced a calculation of cost savings.
290648 -            ..
290649 -           Alphabet technology is accepted because it produces a useful
290650 -           work product that is significantly better than pictures.
290651 -           People who cannot read and write look at work product using
290652 -           the alphabet, and feel it is magical, as indeed it is.
290654 -            ..
290655 -           While there are no calculations showing cost savings for
290656 -           this method, the accelerated advance of civilization over
290657 -           centuries demonstrates the benefit.
290659 -            ..
290660 -           We don't have centuries.  We only have 20 or 30 years, if we
290661 -           are very lucky.

330707 -
330708 -    3.  FYI - The reason that SDS records do not render in Opera is
330709 -        that Opera is more standards compliant that Explorer! I ran and
330710 -        HTML validator over the pages and there are numerous errors.
330711 -        The most common one appears to be created by staring every font
330712 -        change by closing a presumed open font when there isn't one.
330713 -        (Every font markup starts with /font><font ....) When a font
330714 -        section is closed early, the /font generates an error. This
330715 -        interacts with the pre tag in Opera to destroy the rendering
330716 -        because the mismatch of the font open and close hides the pre
330717 -        tag. ref DRT 1 UX6F
330719 -            ..
330720 -           Solution Idea for Failed SDS Display in Gary's Browser
330721 -
330722 -           The /font font sequence was adopted after considerable trial
330723 -           and error indicated that it provides consistent rendering in
330724 -           IE and Netscape, and so can be applied routinely.
330725 -
330726 -           Might it be that only the first /font causes the overall
330727 -           problem by creating an imbalance between font and /font.
330728 -
330729 -           Perhaps Gary can try to manually remove the first /font at
330730 -           the top of an SDS record and see if this solves the problem
330731 -           in his browser.  That is a simple solution, if it works.
330732 -           ..
330733 -           Actually, I will do that to this record, and so Gary
330734 -           need only let me know if it works.
330735 -
330736 -           Looking more closely at a converted SDS record, does not
330737 -           seem likely this simple solution will get it done. Maybe
