091402 - KnowledgeFarm Uses Hard Work to Support Content for KM
091403 - SDS Reduces Effort Required for Producing Content
091404 -
091405 - Received a letter from Peter Dorfman asking how Welch Company makes a
091406 - living. This followed up an inquiry I made a few days ago based, on
091407 - Peter's work shown in a web site called the...

091413 - ...which was reviewed on 000307. ref SDS 10 4472  There is a note in
091414 - the record of having contacted Peter. ref SDS 10 2223
091415 -
091416 - Peter responded, and I sent something back, which is not clear in the
091417 - record, because I did not have time to track it.  He then sent a one
091418 - sentence follow up inquiry.
091419 -
091420 - Since KnowledgeFarm recognizes a key aspect of effective knowledge
091421 - management, that it takes hard work, ref SDS 10 4472, and since the
091422 - firm seems to be a content provider, which I interpret to mean they
091423 - can prepare a useful record, and since this is essential to apply SDS
091424 - tools and Communication Metrics, I sent a letter explaining how SDS
091425 - and Com Metrics might support his work of preparing useful KM content.
091426 - ..
091427 - Recognizing that the chances this would be successful are
091428 - slight, I sent an ordinary email.
091429 -
091430 - This morning, as a result of notice from Dick Karpinski, per below,
091431 - ref SDS 0 5850, decided to create this record to hopefully generate
091432 - some useful knowledge.
091433 -
091434 - Submitted ref DIT 1 0001 linked to the letter prepared for Jon Bondy,
091435 - ref DIP 1 0001, on 000306. ref SDS 9 3816  Since Jon indicated on
091436 - 000307 that this letter helped him understand SDS, ref SDS 11 3005,
091437 - maybe it can help Peter understand as well.
091438 -
091439 - Also, linked the letter, ref DIP 4 0001, to John Hogden at LANL, sent
091440 - yesterday, which explains efforts to engage the Lab in doing the
091441 - improvements on subject management which was proposed to NSF last
091442 - year. ref SDS 17 0672
091443 -
091444 - Sent a copy to Dick Karpinski to keep him posted on progress, since he
091445 - has expressed interest in advancing SDS, reported on 000307.

091801 - This morning Dick Karpinski sent a letter pointing out spelling and
091802 - syntax errors in the letter to Peter. ref SDS 18 9862
091803 -
091804 - I really wasn't going to incorporate the letter to Peter into the
091805 - record.  Figured if he responds constructively to the letter
091806 - explaining SDS that was sent to Jon Bondy, ref DIP 1 0001, then would
091807 - invest time to work with him at a higher level.
091808 -
091809 - After getting Dick's letter, decided to go ahead and put ref DIT 1
091810 - 0001 in the record, and in doing so, saw further mistakes.  So it is a
091811 - big mess, as usual when work is entirely spontaneous, although in this
091812 - case, I seem to have set a world record for the most mistakes in the
091813 - fewest sentences.
091814 -
091815 - This shows the value of webmail that permits correcting the record
091816 - without creating a lot of different versions that increase complexity
091817 - and cause further error, as reported on 990804. ref SDS 5 1944
091818 -
091819 - Part of this reflects the fact that I sent a regular email which is
091820 - error prone, as reported on 990924, ref DIP 5 1045, reviewing the high
091821 - cost of medical mistakes. ref SDS 6 0715  Additionally, on 000314 had
091822 - to install Netscape again from scratch, ref SDS 13 0001, and evidently
091823 - forgot to turn on spell check.  Dick's heads up is a helpful reminder.
091824 -
091825 - So, set spell check in Netscape.
091826 -
091827 - To illustrate how Communication Metrics can be applied, sent Peter
091828 - the letter ref DIT 1 0001 as web mail, linked to this record for
091829 - explanation of the correction process, supported by Dick.
