060901 - Follow up
060902 -
060903 - Received at ref DRT 2 line 35 a letter from Dave Wilemon, transmitting
060904 - Fran Webster's letter of Jun 1, ref DRT 1 line 22, responding to my
060905 - submission at ref SDS 4 line 45, which responds to ref OF 5 line 10.
060907 -  ..
060908 - Fran's letter was sent to Dave in error, and his letter to Dave was
060909 - sent to me, which was corrected at ref SDS 5 line 56.
060911 -  ..
060912 - Revised paper using new filename, ref OF 3 line 10, so old one is
060913 - still there, and submitted to Fran via ref DIT 1 line 31.
060915 -  ..
060916 - Submitted request ref DIT 2 line 27, for Dave Wilemon at Syracuse
060917 - School of Managmeent to get further peer review, included POIMS and
060918 - NWO papers.  This responds to his letter at ref DRT 2 line 17.

0612 - Analysis
0613 -
061301 - Fran feels the NWO... article is too long, ref DRT 1 line 24.  He
061302 - feels it should be 1000 - 1200 words, and suggests resubmission to
061303 - that standard, or submit for publication in PMJ they need three copies
061304 - on which the author is not identified.  A review board then selects
061305 - what is to be published.
061307 -  ..
061308 - Fran requests notice of what course to take.
061310 -  ..
061311 - My concerns are:
061312 -
061313 -    1.  The article is a predicate to the POIMS paper, and so needs to
061314 -        be published in time for that event.
061315 -
061316 -    2.  The article is now 4056 words.  To get to 1000, we have to do
061317 -        a fair amount of editing.
061318 -
061320 -  ..
061321 - I spent 6 or 7 hours editing, mostly in formatting to see how it would
061322 - lay in the Pmnetwork 3 column format.  Was able to reduce it by only
061323 - about 1000 words, so we are still at about 3,000.  This is slightly
061324 - over 3 pages.  We could delete the last paragraph to fit it on 3
061325 - pages, if that helps.
061327 -      ..
061329 -      ..
061330 -     I added more direct references to "Murphy's Law" since this seems
061331 -     to be a metaphor that project managers understand, as seen from
061332 -     the PMI Conference at Asilomar last weekend, ref SDS 6 line 240.
061333 -
061334 -         [See later connection in subsequent version to Aristotle, ref
061335 -         SDS 7 line 75.]
061336 -
061338 -  ..
061339 - Will re-submit for consideration of the changes.  Fran can decide
061340 - whether to recommend further edits, or publish in the PMJ instead per
061341 - his observation at ref DRT 1 line 29.
