241203 - Developed planning for a Communication Metrics Web site.  Bill and I
241204 - will work on it this Sunday.  We found that PageMill may not a good
241205 - HTML tool for SDS records.  Looks like FrontPage 98 may work better.
241206 -
241207 - Developed planning for documents to publish on the Web Site.

241602 - Bill Can Help Develop the Web Site
241603 -
241604 - Called Bill DeHart today and discussed creating a Communication
241605 - Metrics Web site that would provide a comprehensive resource for
241606 - people to study Communication Metrics without becoming overwhelmed by
241607 - the volume of things to learn.
241608 -
241609 - Bill seems open to the idea of working on this.
241610 -
241611 - This follows up my having submitted notes of the meeting last
241612 - Wednesday. ref SDS 15 2588

242004 - The basic concept is to create a "knowledge space" to
242005 - demonstrate the viability of this concept.

242007 - We need to...
242008 -
242009 -      Pending Tasks
242010 -
242011 -      Improve presentation of SDS records by adding frames or a table
242012 -      of contents so there is a way to immediately find the Executive
242013 -      Summary and other fields.  This is especially critical for
242014 -      records accessed by links.  People feel they are in a sea of
242015 -      unbounded meaning.
242016 -
242017 -      Improve Executive Summary by eliminating the dots that provide
242018 -      indentation.  Looks like Styles command may be able to define a
242019 -      hanging indent that will do this.
242020 -      ..
242021 -      Convert conventional documents, i.e., non-SDS records, to
242022 -      HTML for viewing on-line when accessed from a record.  This will
242023 -      be a set of documents in HTML stored on e: drive, similar to SDS
242024 -      records.
242025 -
242026 -          [See changing SDS program to work with documents on e: drive.

242028 -
242029 -      Convert SDS reports to HTML.
242030 -
242031 -      Put on the Web site documents that explain Communication Metrics
242032 -      and link them into an explanation of better management.

242402 - Bill Has Ideas for Creating Web Site
242403 -
242404 - We considered the sequence of steps to create a Web Site.
242405 -
242406 - Bill can work on this with me on Sunday afternoon.
242407 -
242408 - We scheduled a meeting at his house for Sunday to work on starting a
242409 - Web page for Communication Metrics.

242414 - PageMill Lacks Needed Features, FrontPage May Work Better
242415 -
242416 - I explained the problem encountered yesterday trying to use PageMill
242417 - and finding it does not apply the (PRE) command. ref SDS 16 4748
242418 - ..
242419 - Bill opened the record I sent of our meeting on 971210 and he
242420 - found the same thing.  He was unable to get PageMill to recognize the
242421 - PRE command.
242422 -
242423 - While we talked he reported trying FrontPage and finding it does
242424 - support PRE.  Bill said FrontPage seems to have a stronger editing
242425 - capability and so I asked to borrow the CD.
242426 -
242427 - Bill will be in his San Francisco PG&E office tomorrow morning and so
242428 - I can pick it up there, and return his PageMill CD and manual.
