421905 - Ray Ozzie says Groove helps assemble teams, manage documents and make
421906 - decisions. ref SDS 0 MY3I  He feels weblogs and Groove with Lotus
421907 - Notes, ref SDS 0 UQ0R, improve email, ref SDS 0 HW8H, which a lot of
421908 - people use for collaboration. ref SDS 0 WO8H  Groove claims to be 10
421909 - times better than email by synchronizing information, like LN uses
421910 - replication. ref SDS 0 H1WX  Calculating ROI for Groove on didn't
421911 - work.  It has has good criteria; does not consider expanding span of
421912 - attention, enabled by SDS. ref SDS 0 H16N  Sharepoint mentioned in
421913 - literature on Groove seems to support features planned for OHS/DKR,
421914 - like crawling content and creating an index of metadata. ref SDS 0
421915 - H357  A Digital Dashboard is part of Sharepoint that integrates work
421916 - processes to assemble information. ref SDS 0 H34F  John Maloney sent
421917 - another letter saying his proven template lists IT gadgets, correcting
421918 - an earlier letter using the template to assess SDS.  He calls evidence
421919 - to enable analysis of sweeping conclusions "an academic exercise,"
421920 - narrowing the scope of "collaboration" promoted today. ref SDS 0 BC5L
421921 - Despite lack of analysis supporting Groove, John recognizes analysis
421922 - is important for understanding; he cautions against sweeping
421923 - conclusions without analysis. ref SDS 0 IO7G  John offers sweeping
421924 - critique of organizational memory properly arguing against writing
421925 - everything down, that supports experience using SDS for capturing
421926 - important information to save time and money. ref SDS 0 Q45G  John
421927 - likes Groove support for intermodal collaboration putting people
421928 - first, ref SDS 0 Q51C, because intimate social interaction, deep trust
421929 - and unfettered interactions are effective. ref SDS 0 E49H  John offers
421930 - a sweeping endorsement of Groove for accomplishing the vision of the
421931 - OHS/DKR knowledge repository calling for links to daily working
421932 - information. ref SDS 0 Q52F  Lack of analysis supporting conclusions
421933 - indicates John has not adopted Groove, and that the tools he is using
421934 - do not make analysis fast and easy; or, John is using Groove and it
421935 - has no recognizable impact on improving the work, contrary to hopes
421936 - and endorsement. ref SDS 0 Q53A

BT0500 -        from Office XP when you browse to the workspace on which you
BT0501 -        want to search Web folders. These Office and Windows Explorer

BT0513 -           This configuration supports a group that primarily needs to
BT0514 -           manage documents but also crawls some content stored outside
BT0515 -           the workspace. A department uses SharePoint Portal Server
BT0516 -           for document creation, version control, and publishing
BT0517 -           documents in the group.  In this example, the workspace
BT0518 -           consists almost entirely of content that is stored in the
BT0519 -           workspace. The amount of content stored outside the
BT0520 -           workspace is small and might consist of content sources
BT0521 -           pointing to one or two competitors' Web sites. The emphasis
BT0522 -           is on document management rather than searching.

BT0528 -           SharePoint Portal Server uses the Microsoft Search Service,
BT0529 -           which has four main components. These components:
BT0530 -
BT0531 -             •  Crawl the collected content of a set of URLs for
BT0532 -                inclusion in an index.
BT0533 -
BT0534 -             •  Parse or filter the document to extract the relevant

BT0538 -             •  Include the data retrieved in an index.

BZ0833 - not use SDS, reported on 020610. ref SDS 68 6M6G
BZ0835 -  ..
BZ0836 - John says in his letter...
BZ0837 -
BZ0838 -   1.  I am not inclined to "...point out which of the KM solutions
BZ0839 -       listed in the proven template [I] submitted on 020610 accomplish
BZ0840 -       Ozzie's ideas for enterprise management with Grove, Groove and

BZ0845 -          John quotes from the letter to Jack, above, ref SDS 0 DS6K,
BZ0846 -          citing the record on 020610 when John submitted a long list
BZ0847 -          of products and methods he used as standards for evaluating
BZ0848 -          SDS. ref SDS 68 5P6J
BZ0850 -           ..
BZ0851 -          Reluctance to identify even one of these products and methods
BZ0852 -          cited on 020610, suggests that none are effective, and
BZ0853 -          further suggests that John does not have command and control
BZ0854 -          of the record to access relevant parts of organizational
BZ0855 -          memory for timely analysis, and so eschews this academic
BZ0856 -          exercise, despite Andy Grove's call on 980307 for people to
BZ0857 -          "study" in order to prepare for new realities, and despite
BZ0858 -          John's own call today for deep, rigorous analysis, because
BZ0859 -          this is hard work using tools and methods John has available.
BZ0860 -          ref SDS 0 IO7G
BZ0862 -  ..
BZ0863 - John continues...
BZ0864 -
BZ0865 -   2.  Besides, these are positively NOT "KM solutions," but simplistic
BZ0866 -       information technology gadgets. ref DRT 4 8N6K
BZ0868 -        ..
BZ0869 -   3.  Sadly, too many attack their opportunities/problems with
BZ0870 -       application feature/function charts or some superficial
BZ0871 -       technical notion, only to be greatly disappointed when they fail
BZ0872 -       to achieve any form of productivity improvement, intellectual
BZ0873 -       growth or even recognition. ref DRT 4 KO7K
BZ0874 -
BZ0875 -          John's assessment today aligns with analysis submitted to him
BZ0876 -          on 020610, noted in the letter to John, ref DIT 3 QH8M,
BZ0877 -          explaining that products and methods listed on the proven
BZ0878 -          template John submitted on 020610 do not address SDS support
BZ0879 -          for KM, ref SDS 68 TG6J, and further aligns with analysis on
BZ0880 -          000425 showing that SDS is unique KM capability, ref SDS 38
BZ0881 -          0480, also, noted by Morris Jones on 010924, ref SDS 60 XT5F,

BZ0883 -          years. ref DIT 3 WN6K
BZ0885 -           ..
BZ0886 -          This further aligns with Dave Snowden's article reviewed on
BZ0887 -          020608 saying that KM has failed, ref SDS 67 ZN6I and
BZ0888 -          ref SDS 67 QV5G, which John reported reflects his own view of
BZ0889 -          Knowledge Management, ref DIT 3 RE7M, also shown on 020608.
BZ0890 -          ref SDS 67 KJ6G  Evidence reported on 010907 shows that SDS
BZ0891 -          has proven to work, ref SDS 55 KX3L, and cited in the letter
BZ0892 -          to John today. ref DIT 3 Q147
BZ0894 -           ..
BZ0895 -          John's letter seems conflicting in appearing to reject
BZ0896 -          technology to improve management, ref DIT 3 0283, yet below,
BZ0897 -          there is considerable enthusiasm for Groove technology.

F30807 -  17.  The genius of Groove Networks is in putting social networks
F30808 -       ahead of technology.  It is that simple. Their intermodal
F30809 -       collaboration and social tooling achieves the breakthrough to
F30810 -       truly augment human intelligence and boost Collective IQ
F30811 -       overall.  Today, nothing else comes close. ref DRT 4 UW4G

F30814 -           None of the product information and published reviews for
F30815 -           Groove referenced by John today mention "intermodal
F30816 -           collaboration" and "social tooling," per above. ref SDS 0
F30817 -           H1WX  There is nothing on the Internet about Groove and
F30818 -           intermodal collaboration, etc.  A link to a source that
F30819 -           associates Groove with this description would be helpful.

F30838 -           "Social tooling" sounds a little ominous like social
F30839 -           engineering and re-education, but likely refers to John's
F30840 -           point to put people first, ref SDS 0 Q44J, for intimate

F30849 -           "intelligence" as organization, analysis, alignment, summary
F30850 -           and feedback, ref OF 1 0367, which is implemented by SDS.
F30851 -           The proposition of putting social networks ahead of
F30852 -           technology is redundant. Technology by definition is created
F30853 -           by people to serve the interests of people.

F30880 -           Research on 900319 shows human memory is a core driving
F30881 -           force of human reasoning.  Alphabet technology improves
F30882 -           human reasoning by improving human memory, because people
F30883 -           can write down information and use this work product later
F30884 -           for accurate memory of prior events.  This is evident in
F30885 -           books, articles, letters and reports, which is the engine of

F30893 -  18.  Groove is a major achievement, a state change really, in the
F30894 -       domain of electronic human interaction, collaboration and
