940901 - On 080206 Morris indicted plans to develop a version of SDS that omits
940902 - support for flexible structures essential for Knowledge Management,
940903 - Communication Metrics, and intelligence support. ref SDS 14 RR47  Long
940904 - experience working with Microsoft and other technologies together with
940905 - no experience using SDS cannot convince people about requirements for
940906 - flexible structues and efficient usability that makes SDS an effective
940907 - platform for Knowledge Management, Communication Metrics, and
940908 - intelligence support. ref SDS 14 1L6O  The fact that SDS makes linking
940909 - fast and easy, and people do not create links to support daily work

941000 -        on concepts, principles, and processes we are striving to
941001 -        advance with your work on SDS.  The letter to the team on

941008 -        Engelbart's 1962 proposal that launched SRI's work using
