060702 -
060703 - Gary submitted peer review and then called to discuss revisions to NWO
060704 - that provide an outline format to define the scope of SDS support for
060705 - "intelligence" based on traditional practice in the military.  Made
060706 - corrections and additions Gary suggested.  Submitted SDS update to
060707 - Gary with link to his record requesting review of Scope field in the
060708 - ASB form for submission to the Aerospace company, and developed on
060709 - 040720 that references NWO, per planning. ref SDS 0 MC6T

061104 -
061105 - The past week applied planning on 040709, ref SDS 1 RH34, by
061106 - developing a summary in the ASB form reported in the record on 040720
061107 - for an outline to define the scope of intelligence support.
061108 - ref SDS 2 6F33  The summary in the ASB form to set a standard for
061109 - using SDS at Aerospace company has links into the foundational documents to apply
061110 - the general practice using SDS for clear, concise, complete
061111 - communication. ref SDS 2 YZ4O
061113 -  ..
061114 - Last night incorporated this new outline into a new section in NWO to
061115 - provide a constant location for a framework that explains the scope of
061116 - SDS in relation to traditional practices for intelligence work,
061117 - primarily in the military. ref OF 12 JU8O
061119 -  ..
061120 - Sent a letter to Gary requesting feedback, and this morning Gary
061121 - submitted helpful peer review.
061123 -  ..
061124 - Gary later called and we discussed changes to the Scope field in the
061125 - ASB form, ref OF 19 KX4L, that now summarizes the new outline added to
061126 - the NWO for defining the scope of SDS intelligence support, reported
061127 - on 040720. ref SDS 2 IE6M
061128 -
061129 -    Submitted an SDS update to Gary so he can review the Scope field in
061130 -    the ASB file.
061132 -  ..
061133 - Changes Gary suggested were reviewed and corrections on spelling and
061134 - syntax were applied.  Review led to further expanding explanations,
061135 - and adding links to POIMS and internally to maintain consistant use of
061136 - terms, e.g., situational awareness. ref OF 12 18YW
061137 -
061138 -    If there is time, Gary might take another look at NWO to see how
061139 -    the corrections he proposed were implemented, and how other changes
061140 -    were made to apply his general suggestions. ref OF 12 JU8O

061313 -  ..
061314 - This was done.
061316 -  ..
061317 - Gary continues...
061318 -
061319 -    6.  All of these are, of course, discussed at length in POIMS.
061320 -        This is sort of what I mean when I talk about a "glossary" -- a
061321 -        set of links to discussions of the core concepts of POIMS, NWO,
061322 -        SDS that we can reuse at will.
061324 -         ..
061325 -    7.  For example, if we gather the places that we have discussed
061326 -        "Plan, Perform, Report" we may find that we can rewrite the
061327 -        main reference to include all the elements of any other
061328 -        discussions, and link to that main reference wherever we
061329 -        mention the term.
061331 -         ..
061332 -    8.  == Explicit Links on First List Item ==
061333 -
061334 -        These nested lists raise the question of whether there should
061335 -        be an explicit link on every list item. If it was important
061336 -        enough to warrant a separate place in the list, should the
061337 -        first item in each list get an explicit link as well as the
061338 -        others? The appearance isn't uniform and seems to violate the
061339 -        "principle of least astonishment". I think this outweighs any
061340 -        adverse consequences from additional links in this context (but
061341 -        then, I am still of the opinion that there should be explicit
061342 -        links on every paragraph, regardless).
061344 -  ..
061345 - Explicit links are not on the first element of a list because the
061346 - heading for the list provides a link, and the correct vertical spacing
061347 - seems to be difficult to maintain.
