040901 - Received Gary's SDS records for today, and reviewed the record on
040902 - 030415 for the first day of meetings on SoS. ref SDS 1 0001
040904 -  ..
040905 - The record looks good so far.  Once the same thing is created for
040906 - 030416 and 030417, then everything can be tied together with a story
040907 - and action items.
040909 -  ..
040910 - Gary was concerned the record is too long.  It is under 600 lines,
040911 - which is long for traditional practice, not necessarily for SDS,
040912 - particularly since the plan is to submit an executive summary, per
040913 - telecon today. ref SDS 3 KT67
040915 -  ..
040916 - Initial general impressions not necessarily requiring action...
040917 -
040918 -     1.  Attendees listed in contacts.
040919 -
040920 -         Need list of attendees and organizations for contacts.
040921 -
040922 -            Gary decided to make this a separate file and link to it
040923 -            instead of putting everyone in Contacts.  This sounds
040924 -            reasonable.
040926 -          ..
040927 -     2.  Need heading for "Discussion" or possibly "Administration"
040928 -         that separates some of the house keeping stuff, and to create
040929 -         a field for a narrative that will be constructed when the
040930 -         record is completed that summarizes what was done in a story
040931 -         linked to the details.
040933 -          ..
040934 -     3.  When people start talking, need heading for "Discussion"
040935 -
040936 -         People should be identified for organization, title and
040937 -         contribution to the project.
040939 -          ..
040940 -     4.  The Agenda seems to be listed in the References, which is
040941 -         good, but there is no sense in the record of how it is
040942 -         applied, i.e., there is no evident correlation in the language
040943 -         of the record to the agenda, but I have only briefly glanced
040944 -         at it so far.
040946 -          ..
040947 -     5.  Record segments are introduced based on the powerpoint file
040948 -         structures.
040950 -          ..
040951 -     6.  Need links showing correlation between discussions at
040952 -         different times that refer back to other comments.
040954 -          ..
040955 -     7.  Coherence is not clear on problems, opportunities and action
040956 -         items flagged for follow up by specific individuals and
040957 -         organizations.  Sometimes dependencies are discussed.  This
040958 -         may be evident to attendees.  For others who did not attend,
040959 -         the story may need to to fleshed out in some places.
040961 -          ..
040962 -         Headlines and record segments help with this by summarizing
040963 -         the story in relation to objectives.
040965 -          ..
040966 -     8.  Acronyms should be spelled out on first use for reference and
040967 -         orientation by the wide range of people who will be involved
040968 -         with aspects of the work, but not everything.  If there is a
040969 -         project listing, link to that.
040971 -          ..
040972 -     9.  Suggested work plan might be to create a second record on
040973 -         030415 in Gary's SDS records that illustrates formatting and
040974 -         other ideas he can consider. ref SDS 2 0001
