* Doug Englebart: Augment
(whenever ready)
Topics
------
This is the prioritized list of topics we generated at the last
meeting. [I've added one more at the end -- after the meeting
I realized that my major focus never got mentioned!]
1) Use Case Scenarios
Still very high level. What the people using the system
are going to be doing, how it is going to help them.
Doug is going to Washington in a month. This exercise
will help bring into focus the concrete benefits the
system will provide. (Since people can readily visualize
concrete benefits, this activity should help with the
funding effort.)
2) Evaluations of "Starter Technologies"
These are the early collaboration tools we may well want
to employ as we go about designing the next generation
system. We could build a starter system ourselves, but it
might make sense to use an existing tool for that purpose.
[Note: We need to get on to item 3 fast, for Doug's use
in Washington, so we may wind up dividing up the list
for evaluations in one meeting, then farming out the
highly-evaluated possibilities for evaluation by someone
else. So this item should be a fairly quick "report/
assign activity.]
3) Technology Roadmap
A development plan that shows what we intend to build long
term and the release stages we plan to go through to get
there.
4. Transcoding Vector
An in-depth evaluation of Doug's favored "get started"
option, using WBI to transcode existing documents.
5. Licensing and Business Model
How we are going to do things in a way that makes the results
available to humanity, yet provides the income necessary to
ensure continued development and concept-marketing (to
achieve widespread adoption of interoperating collaboration
technologies provided by a large number of vendors, with the
ultimate goal of augmenting (collaborative) human intelligence
on the shortest possible time scale.
[Note: I'll post a possible licensing model in a subsequent
message.]
6. Data Structures [I added this one.]
Identifying the "atomic" structure (or structures) that can
be strung together to build the system. [I have some thoughts
on this. Not sure if I'll get them posted tonight, though.]
