0511 - Analysis
0512 -
051201 - Decided to send ref OF 2 0000 rather than the article submitted to
051202 - PMJ, because it discloses less of the SDS screens, and simply explains
051203 - POIMS theory.  I appended the conclusion of OF 3 0000 to OF 2 0000
051204 - because it creates the tone of what I want to convey.  Had to do some
051205 - other edits of PCL, to make it work okay.

0515 - Market

051601 - Sheila requested a statement about the market, per ref DRT 1 line 30.

051603 -    Comment
051604 -
051605 -    The text of the document uses the language of a management expert,
051606 -    so one might say it is geared to executives.  A large focus is on
051607 -    peculiarities of what is called "project management," which might
051608 -    further narrow the market.  Thus, is the market similar to
051609 -    something written by Peter Drucker, Tom Peters, or George Guilder
051610 -    (Guilder's "Microcosm" is a baseline, expanded by this piece).
051611 -
051612 -    In the most fundamental way, POIMS is about improving the ability
051613 -    to think, remember and communicate through writing.  It is an
051614 -    extension of the alphabet and rules of grammar, and it automates
051615 -    the power of poetry to preserve knowledge, i.e., connected
051616 -    information.  Therefore it is for everyone.  School children could
051617 -    improve their ability to learn using SDS, seniors could keep track
051618 -    how to do things and where they put things.  Home makers, could
051619 -    track recipies.  Anyone who uses knowledge and ideas benefits from
051620 -    SDS.  That's everyone.
