482325 - I called Eugene Kim the next evening on 001016 and he advised that
482326 - Eric's OHS specifications, originally called the CDS in the record on
482327 - 000505, ref SDS 39 4864, were formally reviewed by the project some
482328 - time ago.  Earlier on 000725 Eugene mentioned at dinner following a
482329 - meeting at SRI that a review had occurred. ref SDS 48 YK4O
482331 -  ..
482332 - On 000614 Eric issued version 0.9. ref SDS 43 0782  The next day, on
482333 - 000615 Eugene proposed changing CDS to OHS. ref SDS 44 5880
482335 -  ..
482336 - Eugene plans to issue review comments by the end of the month.
482337 -
482338 -     [On 001017 Eric advises production is underway. ref SDS 69 0001
482339 -
482340 -     [On 010205 Eugene reports this review did not occur, ref SDS 70
482341 -     BM4F, and thus no report was issued.
482343 -  ..
482344 - Eugene understands Eric has two concerns that could potentially be
482345 - categorized as a "local storage" problem.
482346 -
482347 -     1.  View control
482348 -
482349 -         Eric wants to avoid the roundtrip latency involved in the
482350 -         current architecture. ref DRT 1 SQ7F
482351 -
482352 -            Need example to illustrate this problem.  Off hand it is
482353 -            not experienced in in SDS, but not sure without more
482354 -            explanation, and maybe an example.
482356 -          ..
482357 -         Eugene agree with this concern, but thinks that the current
482358 -         architecture is an important transitional step to start
482359 -         getting users, and that it can easily be modified to support
482360 -         local handling of views.

620706 -
620707 -         Eugene agrees with Eric, even though his email system is set
620708 -         up to open a web browser with an e-mail link with one click.
620709 -         Eugene feels this is a very minor issue that can be solved in
620710 -         two ways:  include the text as well as the link for legacy
620711 -         clients, and build an "include content of link" feature into
620712 -         the OHS client at some point.

620714 -            This aligns with Eric's letter on 000824 he does not like
620715 -            links in email and he does not like project archives.

870808 - Eugene falls in the middle of two competing methods for getting
870809 - started on the OHS project to implement Augment using Open Source
870810 - methods, ref DRT 1 ZU4H, even if the direction is incorrect, which
870811 - Grant discussed in his letter on 001012. ref SDS 68 B4P2
870813 -  ..
870814 - Eugene explains Doug's concern about moving in the wrong direction;
870815 - and notes that Grant is more concerned about not moving at all.
870817 -  ..
870818 - Eugene is equally averse to lack of action and action in the wrong
870819 - direction for the sake of action.  Successful open source development
870820 - depends heavily on strong initial design.  It's certainly feasible,
870821 - even highly recommended, to scrap initial code attempts entirely and
870822 - rewrite from scratch, but if you start off with a bad design to begin
870823 - with, an open source-style methodology is not going to help you in any
870824 - way whatsoever. ref DRT 1 PW4L

A51007 - Eugene reports that Augment source code is available in Augment, and
A51008 - Doug could potentially start dumping it once he gets going with
A51009 - a2h.pl.  Eugene thinks the idea of reimplementing L-10 compilers,
A51010 - which he attributes to Grant, would be a lot of fun, and would love to
A51011 - see someone do it.  Eugene would like to give it a go, if only for
A51012 - historical curiosity. What better way to study a language than to
A51013 - write a compiler for it? ref DRT 1 LJ5O

A51018 -     1.  Implementing Augment is not an overnight project.
A51019 -
A51020 -     2.  Doug is concerned that the complexity of Augment restrains
A51021 -         progress on developing an update, and enlisting a cadre of
