240718 -        Got your SDS records, and put an update on the web.  I did the
240719 -        summary on record of working with Pat Lincoln today on 030520,
240720 -        ref SDS 15 0001, using the improved marking system developed
240721 -        following your suggestion on 030516, ref SDS 11 0001, and found
240722 -        it makes the process of creating a summary of an SDS record
240723 -        that is linked to relevant details in the various record
240724 -        segments much easier.
240726 -         ..

240735 -        Here is another tip of the day...
240737 -         ..
240738 -        Headlines typically strive to make a declarative statement that
240739 -        summarize the meaning of a body of text similar to the way a
240740 -        headline in a newspaper or magazine strive to impart broad
240741 -        scope import to a story.  Often alternate headlines are
240742 -        prepared to provide multiple views about what has transpired,
240743 -        as illustrated in the above record. This is a little different
240744 -        from traditional meeting minutes that often simply state a
240745 -        subject area, like "oranges," "C++ Code Changes," "Generator
240746 -        Footings," or, in the case of the record yesterday for the VS
240747 -        Staff meeting, "IMS Development."  Of course, it is not
240748 -        essential to write a declarative headline, and when time is
240749 -        short, we skip this task. It is another feature that helps a
240750 -        lot to do it, like adding the date with every link, but nothing
240751 -        to worry about if time is short.  Most of the time these things
240752 -        are skipped because we forget.  So, just a reminder.
