211303 - Letter to Gary this morning asks for feedback on recent communication

211311 - Gary responded that development on SDS should continue, but his

211316 - explain any correlation between his objectives and SDS capabilities,
211317 - ref SDS 0 XY5K, and he does not link anything. Addressability is
211318 - listed as a requirement, which is only useful for linking. Gary says

212112 - While I would be interested in trying SDS, I can't see that I can

212213 - Gary continues discussing linking...
212214 -
212215 - This is an attempt. All I can say for it is that it is possible

212217 - like it does in SDS. ref DRT 1 T06V

320940 -
320941 - 1. the construction of the presentations,
320942 -
320943 - [On 030407 Gary submitted a list of 17 programs he
320944 - uses for Knowledge Management. ref SDS 65 6Q4H
320946 - ..
320947 - 2. the creation of small tools to help the tools
320948 - interoperate or to generate specific inputs or outputs.
320950 - ..
320951 - 3. Try to convince the tool creators to make simple
320952 - modifications to their tools that will make my life
320953 - easier.
320954 -
320955 - Isn't the way to do this to collaborate on SDS
320956 - which has most of Gary's ideas on outlining,
320957 - linking and addressability already?
320959 - ..
320960 - 4. Build another tool that does all the things I want
320961 - assuming that I am not going to be able to get anyone
320962 - to put all of my ideas together except me.
320963 -
320964 - What progress has Gary made putting his ideas
320965 - together so far?
320967 - ..
320968 - On 011210 Gary was hesitant to tackle building a
320969 - tool set that accomplishes his goals, which
320970 - encouraged contacting him to contribute to SDS.
320971 - ref SDS 49 XU3L

320975 - expedite progress on putting his ideas together
320976 - since his letter on 011006? ref SDS 47 JQ6K
320978 - ..
320979 - 2. Small team collaboration
320980 -
320981 - Once I have a way to express myself with adequate richness,
320982 - the next step is to support the collaboration of a small team
320983 - - particularly a software development team. This would be a
320984 - private collaboration limited to the specific members of the
320985 - team, with some specific products being exported for other
320986 - purposes.
320987 -
320988 - This re-states Gary's ideas about difficulty getting
320989 - things done in large organizations, reported on 011006.
320990 - ref SDS 47 MO6F
320992 - ..
320993 - For this purpose, I am interested in the peer-to-peer
320994 - technologies. I dislike solutions that require central servers
320995 - because getting the required control over one involves expense
320996 - and expertise that I don't want to expend.
320998 - ..
320999 - Your comments [in a letter today] on the progress of alphabet
321000 - technology are well taken.
321001 -
321002 - While often only a few can blaze a trail, it takes a team
321003 - to do the rest, and, especially in the beginning, this
321004 - requires good faith collaboration. We are now working to
321005 - forge that faith.
321007 - ..
321008 - I agree. That is why I want to start with individuals and then
321009 - small teams. I don't have any hope that sweeping changes in
321010 - large organizations can be accomplished. Individuals and small
321011 - groups will adopt a technology if they can see benefit in it.
321012 - So, for example, where Jack Park is interested in changing the
321013 - educational system, I consider that a dream and would
321014 - concentrate on home schoolers and life-long learners who have
321015 - something to gain from new ideas instead of a pathological
321016 - resistance to them.
321017 -
321019 - ..
321020 - Gary continues...
321021 -
321022 - 1. Personal KM - Gary wants....
321023 -
321024 - He does not say anything in relation to SDS and POIMS.

321041 - 1. Outliner that supports a heading and a multi-paragraph
321042 - body. ref DRT 1 9Y3G
321043 -
321044 - SDS does this well, as seen by this record. Key is
321045 - flexible structure, so people are not locked into a
321046 - particular outline mode, but can move between modes
321047 - at will.
321048 - ..
321049 - 2. Item clones so the same node can be in multiple
321050 - places. ref DRT 1 91PV
321051 -
321052 - Need clarification, because if anchors are not
321053 - unique in a file, this presents a problem.
