221203 - Eric's has done a terrific job putting the project specs into HTML. He
221204 - did not have time to detail changes and provide pointers for review,
221205 - per procedures set up for v0.7 and v0.8.  As a result, could not focus
221206 - review, nor develop alignment and feedback. ref SDS 0 3116  Current
221207 - specs provide a link to priorities on Bootstrap; there was not enough
221208 - time for correlation nor alignment between priorities and project
221209 - specs. ref SDS 0 0789   A new resource showing OHS minimum elements is
221210 - provided by reference; needs engineering management. ref SDS 0 5296
221211 - Eric offers helpful ideas for engineering management on the Wiki
221212 - effort, which will require disclipline and will be tricky. ref SDS 0
221213 - 0895 IBIS is proposed to address the issue. ref SDS 0 4939 He says
221214 - contributors will have to "play DKR" and does not review the level of
221215 - effort this entails.  Eric reviews Bootstrap plan to improve software
221216 - programming, and suggests continued focus on CDS, as generic
221217 - enhancement of capabilities that will improve programming and other
221218 - crafts.

221715 -      The procedure Eric explained on 000605 for v0.8 and was also
221716 -      needed for version 0.7, is not applied to this update for v0.9,
221717 -      and the lack of explanation of changed, makes it impossible to

221722 -      the letter transmitting changes for v0.8 on 000605, identified
221723 -      changes and advised team members to perform the DKR role by

861993 - engineering management through the DKR, or more simply, support sound
861994 - management practice, faster, better and cheaper, so that it takes less
861995 - discipline, is less tricky, and perhaps is fun for some because it is
861996 - so easy to make the connections of cause and effect that constitutes
861997 - knowledge.  Since some people prefer to know, rather than rely on
861998 - guess and gossip, hunch and hope, making it easier to generate useful
861999 - "intelligence," means we can grow more knowledge, in the same way that

A11538 -     equally help the mechanical, electrical, HVAC, biology, automotive

A11604 -
A11605 -    On 000406 Lee Iverson and Eugene Kim indicated that developing a
A11606 -    stronger software programming capability would attract a wide
A11607 -    circle of programmers to the Bootstrap Open Source effort.  This
A11608 -    aligns with priority set by Doug to increase the people involved in
A11609 -    the project, ref SDS 0 7483, who can develop programs faster to
A11610 -    solve world problems. ref SDS 56 5078   On 000601 Warren Stringer

A11616 -    programming tools can be produced.
