080601 - Follow up ref SDS 12 OR3N, ref SDS 11 OR3N.
080602 -
080603 - Received ref DRT 1 0001 dated 011203 from Henry van Eyken responding
080604 - to the letter, ref DIP 11 0001, on 011202, ref SDS 12 0001, that
080605 - answered Henry's letter on 011125. ref SDS 11 OR3N
080606 -
080607 - The record on 011125 says clarification is needed on Henry's objective
080608 - concerning a managing editor. ref SDS 11 OS3G
080609 -
080610 -     Sent Henry an email declining his generous offer to be managing
080611 -     editor.
080612 -
080613 -     Eugene Kim would be a better choice, because he has experience in
080614 -     the publishing business, ref SDS 4 2063, and developed good ideas
080615 -     for organizing the work in his letter on 001126. ref SDS 6 BY4K

080617 - Henry says today...

080619 -            1.  My idea was that you become the managing editor,
080620 -                using your management tool. ref DRT 1 DV5O

080627 -            2.  The managing editor's role is primarily an
080628 -                organizational one, i.e. project management. This
080629 -                includes ways and means, project efficiency, these kind
080630 -                of things. Initially, this would include attracting
080631 -                volunnteers willing to take on specific tasks.

080700 -         Novel Experimental Journalism - Advertising Out
080701 -
080702 -         Fleabyte, as an e-journal introduces and must continue to
080703 -         introduce some novel, experimental ways of working. Question
080704 -         is whether the outcomes of these may be legally protected for
080705 -         potential revenue generation for Bootstrap, or for Fleabyte
080706 -         (to pay people), or both. The traditional view of editorial
080707 -         funding through advertising is out. I guess that PBS (public
080708 -         broadcasting) is the better model. I imagine that this would
080709 -         be a serious concern for a managing editor.  Myself, I just
080710 -         haven't got the time to even contemplate such matters. I am
080711 -         not looking for personal revenue, but wish to avoid much
080712 -         personal expense. ref DRT 1 PPXR
080713 -
080714 -              Does Henry want Rod to look into attracting advertising
080715 -              for Fleabyte?
080716 -
080717 -              What is the pitch?

080719 -              What readership does Fleabyte have, or expect to have,
080720 -              that will be attractive to advertisers under conditions
080721 -              of highly competitive and fragmented Internet
080722 -              environment?

080724 -              Henry planned in his letter on 011125 to become the
080725 -              Economist for the field of augmenting mental cognition.

080733 -         Human Side of Augmenting Intelligence Henry's Current Focus
080734 -
080735 -         Henry's "editorial time" will go to study literature on the
080736 -         "human side" of the augment equation. (Most people in the
080737 -         Valley work on the "tool side," a part for which Henry says he
080738 -         is not well equipped.)  He believes effective augmentation -
080739 -         as a future way of life - is more than screwing digital tools
080740 -         onto insufficiently well understood minds and must take into
080741 -         account that the brain is more than an info processing machine
080742 -         in the sense we ordinarily perceive that, i.e. without regard
080743 -         for private emotional and cultural factors, etc. ref DRT 1
080744 -         SA4F
080745 -
080746 -              Nobody in the Valley or anywhere else has demonstrated
080747 -              ability to develop technology that augments human
080748 -              intelligence, as shown in the record on 011003.
080749 -              ref SDS 8 SP6G
080750 -
080751 -              "Human side" of augmenting intelligence relates to work
080752 -              roles, practices, and organizational structure for
080753 -              deploying tools, which in combination enable continual
080754 -              improvement through continual learning, explained in the
080755 -              letter on 011029. ref SDS 9 MT6G  The record on 011125
080756 -              directly addresses this, ref SDS 11 OH5F, yet Henry does
080757 -              not discuss it.

080762 -              This has been presented to Henry and colleagues on
080763 -              OHS/DKR for two (2) years, and no serious "study" has
080764 -              been demonstrated.
080765 -
080766 -
080767 -         Henry's time is geared mainly toward developing Fleabyte as a
080768 -         demo for shaping a DKR in an e-journal setting more than to
080769 -         maximizing content publishing, but not ignoring the latter.
