241015 -        Here are my notes from today's *** meeting.  I am sending them
241016 -        to the focals for the 5 meetings that were discussed at the
241017 -        meeting.
241019 -         ..
241020 -        If you have any questions, let me know.

241042 -         ..
241043 -        Do you use a specific tool to create these HTML notes?  They
241044 -        look great and I would like to maybe do the same.

241086 -        Tim,
241088 -         ..
241089 -        I use a tool called the Schedule Diary System (SDS),
241090 -        developed by Rod Welch.
241092 -         ..
241093 -        I use it for all meeting notes as it allows me to hyperlink to
241094 -        earlier discussions, and to gather references by topic.
241096 -         ..
241097 -        Records are maintained by date (chronology), tagged to multiple
241098 -        subjects (context), and linked to other relevant information at
241099 -        the paragraph level (connection).  The combination of
241100 -        chronology, context, and connection is much more powerful than
241101 -        any one of them by itself.  Generating attractive HTML is a
241102 -        single mouse click one the meeting record is captured.
241104 -         ..
241105 -        Rod can explain more if you would like to pursue it, so I have
241106 -        copied him on this response.
241108 -         ..
241109 -        From your contact info it looks as though you are in Huntington
241110 -        Beach, so let me know if you would like a demo of the system or
241111 -        feel free to ask Rod or myself for further information.
