2018 -
201801 - Follow up ref SDS 5 0000, ref SDS 3 0000.
201802 -
201803 - Henry van Eykan submitted a letter to the Colloquium suggesting that
201804 - senior people can be use to support the DKR project.  I used this
201805 - occassion to raise the need for people to learn new skills and mentor
201806 - others in applying automated tools for knowledge management.
201807 - ref SDS 0 0005 Also explain prospect that knowledge management
201808 - technology can lift the capacity to think, remember and communicate,
201809 - ref SDS 0 1122, helping to solve the problem Henry cited on 000307
201810 - that people only remember the "gist" of informtion. ref SDS 0 4782

202204 -
202205 - Follow up ref SDS 5 4782.
202206 -
202207 - Sent letter, ref DIT 1 0002, to Colloquium responding to Henry van
202208 - Eykan's letter, ref DRP 3 0001, received on 000307 considering the
202209 - evolution of reading away from books, and toward electronic media.
202210 - ref SDS 5 4782  My letter links to the record on 000307 explaining
202211 - the advantage of Knowledge Space for more efficient reading, embodied
202212 - by the Colloquium effort to create a DKR. ref SDS 5 4782  The key
202213 - point is the need to be able to quickly connect new information to
202214 - what we already know in order to develop patterns that extend, or
202215 - "grow" new knowledge, and cite Bellinger, which Doug Engelbart
202216 - recommended as having good ideas on knowledge management. ref SDS 5
202217 - 2565
202218 -
202219 - Another big point is the need for organic subject structure, cited in
202220 - the record on 000307, ref SDS 5 4240,

202224 - DKR Augments Remembering, Enhances Literacy
202225 - Expanding Span of Attention Improves Understanding
202226 -
202227 - Follow up ref SDS 5 1122.
202228 -
202229 - The letter, ref DIT 1 0002, does not expressly discuss the prospect
202230 - that the Colloquium's project for dynamic knowledge management may
202231 - help solve the problem Henry cited in his letter on 000307 that people
202232 - only remember 5% - 10%, commonly called the "gist," of information in
202233 - books, ref DRP 3 0874, however, the link in the letter today to Henry
202234 - to the record on 000307 enables him, and other members of the
202235 - Colloquium, to bump into this point. ref SDS 5 1122
202236 -
202237 -     [On 000315 Henry's response does not address this opportunity.
202238 -     ref SDS 8 1122
202239 -
202240 -     [On 000317 sent letter to follow up. ref SDS 9 4782

202244 - Senior People Can Become Mentors, Have Time to Invest in New Methods
202245 - Tending the Garden of Knowledge Requires Experience and Patience
202246 -
202247 - The letter to Henry, ref DIT 1 0001, begins by responding to a letter
202248 - he submits today, but which somehow got lost in the process of fixing
202249 - Netscape (Eric helped with this today. ref SDS 7 0001).
202250 -
202251 - Henry proposes that senior people have a lot of expertise and
202252 - experience, plus time that can support the DKR project, and Doug's
202253 - broader agenda for augmenting human capabilities to "finish" the
202254 - revolution.
202255 -
202256 - On 000304 Eugene Kim submitted a letter explaining that people are key
202257 - to effective knowledge management. ref SDS 2 0785
202258 -
202259 -     [On 000317 sent separate letter to follow up. ref SDS 9 0005
202260 -
202261 - This suggestion aligns with analysis on 000307 that cites earlier
202262 - efforts to engage senior people as a growing resource for learning,
202263 - using and mentoring younger managers and executives in applying the
202264 - tools contemplated by the Colloquium's knowledge management project.
202265 - The key idea is that we need more than tools; we need experienced
202266 - people who have time to study and recognize the value of using tools
202267 - for knowledge management, and then can invest the time needed to learn
202268 - and teach others. ref SDS 5 4377  The letter to Henry today concurs
202269 - with his point that senior people are a good source, because its an
202270 - expanding population. ref DIT 1 0003
202271 -
202272 - Senior people are needed for knowledge management because it is not an
202273 - easy job, cited by KnowledeFarm on 000307. ref SDS 5 4472  Experience
202274 - and savvy are needed to capture the record in a way that produces
202275 - useful intelligence specified by Bellinger, who was recommended by
202276 - Doug Engelbart, in the record on on 000307. ref SDS 5 0772
202277 -
202278 - Finding and training people to use knowledge management tools is part
202279 - of the letter, ref DIP 1 0001, on...
