271036 -      I still don't get it/I need pictures
271037 -
271038 -      OK I have a few pictures that might help. As you view them keep
271039 -      in mind that I just whipped these up and they are just a basic
271040 -      example. They are not the draft, they do not show the limits of
271041 -      the design. These are *just* something to give you an idea of how
271042 -      this can work.

271046 - This clearly warns that pictures provide superficial understanding,

271138 - comment....
271139 -
271140 -    This is very applicable. I am chatting via IRC with the leader Dan
271141 -    Kuykendall of the project this evening. Pictures are worth a
271142 -    thousand words...
271144 -  ..
271145 - The implication is that OGS has provided pictures that help OHS
271146 - contributors develop knowledge management.
271148 -  ..
271149 - Eric notes today that....
271150 -
271151 -    Comment from an editor I worked with some years ago:
271152 -
271153 -      "A picture *requires* a thousand words"
271154 -
271155 -    --to explain it. The picture is always valuable. It provides the
271156 -    mental hook. But the explanations are still needed... :_),
271157 -    ref DRT 1 0001
271159 -  ..
271160 - This aligns with analysis on 940609 showing risks of relying on
271161 - pictures and conversation, which impart impressions that cause
271162 - precipitous action, but are not effective for communication that
271163 - requires understanding and follow up, ref SDS 2 4933, which was
271164 - explained on 890809. ref SDS 1 CJ9J
271165 -
271166 -      Seems to align with Eric's analysis reported on 001008 that
271167 -      graphical representation for daily Knowledge Management is not
271168 -      practical. ref SDS 5 N38W

271171 -         explaining meaning of pictures. ref SDS 8 IH3Y
271173 -  ..
271174 - On 000927 Eric Armstrong reported a "huge need" for the OHS/DKR
271175 - project to solve world problems, which aligns with the work today.
271176 - ref SDS 4 VX5J
271178 -  ..
271179 - IT is designed to deliver more pictures, which grows the demand for
271180 - tools like SDS that generate intelligence needed to understand the
271181 - pictures.
