181626 - open source development opportunities that advance the DKR project,
181627 - posed on 000503. ref SDS 36 6903  This follows up discussion on 000727

181639 - improve the presentation on the web, which aligns with Eric

181641 - SDS design for an OHS/DKR program. ref SDS 44 PU5N

181649 -  ..
181650 - Doug wants to explore how to meld proprietary tools with open source
181651 - efforts, since there are no complete systems that are fully
181652 - proprietary or open source.  Everything is a mix.  This aligns with

181654 - strategies in a market environment. ref SDS 37 1976  On 000726 Jack

181662 - Our discussion on 991222 focused on Doug's call for pilot testing so

181664 - methods. ref SDS 7 5402  Over the past 9 months, the DKR team has
181665 - pilot tested SDS for delivering useful intelligence anytime, anywhere.
181666 - During this period the team learned on 000324 that others attempting
181667 - to create Knowledge Management have failed, ref SDS 33 4877, and that
181668 - KM is difficult to understand, reported on 000615. ref SDS 38 H67O
181670 -  ..
181671 - We considered today the next task for the team is to perform Knowledge
181672 - Management on a daily basis in order to understand how to accomplish

181674 - on 000326. ref SDS 34 5972

181715 - are asking who will be the project manager?  One prospective sponsor

181717 - an acceptable project manager is a requirement.  The same is true for
181718 - other sponsors.
