4710 - Summary/Objective
4711 -
471101 - Follow up ref SDS 13 0000. ref SDS 12 0000.
471102 -
471103 - Gary submitted a letter with a reference to an article on 010426 that
471104 - reported IBM released Discovery Server that is part of Lotus Notes,
471105 - aimed for Knowledge Management, and formerly called Raven. ref SDS 2
471106 - 6A6F
471108 -  ..
471109 - Review of Lotus Notes on 020822 indicated that Groove may have
471110 - replaced Discovery Server.  Advertising copy for Lotus Notes, and John
471111 - Maloney's comments about Groove illustrate a challenge to help people
471112 - grasp that SDS capabilities are not more empty rhetoric.  This
471113 - challenge may occur directly during the hearing scheduled for 040907
471114 - on the presentation of SDS for a standard, planned in the record of
471115 - 040826. ref SDS 13 VL6K  On 040802 Gary did not have time to prepare
471116 - the 2nd draft of the ASB, due to a spike in project activity, and so
471117 - has not worked with the foundational documents for that task, which
471118 - otherwise helps prepare for the hearing on 040907 to explain SDS.
471119 - ref SDS 9 RH5O  On 020217 Gary asked what SDS does that people care
471120 - about?
471122 -  ..
471123 - Submitted a letter to Gary saying...
471124 -
471125 -    1.  Subject: Lotus Notes Raven Discovery Server Groove Sharepoint, etc.
471126 -        Date: Wed, 01 Sep 2004 14:10:31 -0700
471131 -         ..
471132 -    2.  Gary,
471134 -         ..
471135 -    3.  Background on 020822 indicates Discovery Server may have been
471136 -        renamed to "Groove," ref SDS 4 466L, and competes with
471137 -        Sharepoint to empower collaboration, assemble teams, manage
471138 -        documents and solve problems. ref SDS 4 UPWP
471140 -         ..
471141 -    4.  At that time, on 020822, John Maloney commended advantages of
471142 -        Groove, saying...
471143 -
471144 -            "The genius of Groove Networks is in putting social
471145 -            networks ahead of technology.  It is that simple.  Their
471146 -            intermodal collaboration and social tooling achieves the
471147 -            breakthrough to truly augment human intelligence and boost
471148 -            Collective IQ overall.  Today, nothing else comes close."
471149 -            ref SDS 4 Q51C
471151 -         ..
471152 -    5.  Evidently, over the past two (2) years Microsoft made
471153 -        improvements, because John's correspondence this past June made
471154 -        the same claim for Sharepoint supporting "authentic
471155 -        conversation" for Knowledge Management.
471157 -         ..
471158 -    6.  This record suggests a challenge in the hearing on 040907 will
471159 -        be to overcome fatigue from false claims, e.g., collaboration,
471160 -        augment intelligence, etc., mentioned in John's letters, and
471161 -        reflecting advertising by IBM, LN, Groove, Microsoft, et al.
471162 -        Morris mentioned this in a letter on 010425. ref SDS 1 PJ4M
471164 -         ..
471165 -    7.  One answer is to cite 30K records over 20 years to demonstrate
471166 -        work product, and to illustrate connectedness online during the
471167 -        hearing, using examples on 020708. ref SDS 3 MZ6O
471168 -
471169 -            [On 040907 Gary reported the hearing on SDS at Aerospace
471170 -            company was aided by support developed today. ref SDS 14
471171 -            ZS7F
471173 -         ..
471174 -    8.  This is convenient, because the list on 020708 is linked in the
471175 -        ASB everybody will be using.  Before the hearing next week,
471176 -        check through the list on 020708 and select 2 or 3 records to
471177 -        become familiar for giving a guided tour.
471179 -         ..
471180 -    9.  Gil might, also, be helpful on this issue by providing personal
471181 -        endorsement based on direct experience with work product, and
471182 -        working with members of the M&S team over the past 18 months,
471183 -        who want to expand support for organizational memory to a
471184 -        network server.  Gil seems to be effective in discussion, and
471185 -        so you might brief him on this issue prior to the hearing.
471187 -         ..
471188 -   10.  Just a thought on being prepared.
471190 -         ..
471191 -   11.  Thanks for the reminder about Discovery Server.
471193 -         ..
