Presentations
-------------
These are the presentations we currently have on the calendar.
* Werner Schaer, Software Productivity Consortium
(next meeting)
* Doug Engelbart: Augment
(whenever ready)
Topics
------
This is the prioritized list of topics we generated as a result of email
participation.
1) The WBI vector
--Jack/Adam: Experiences with WBI and Weblets
--Jack: An architectural proposal based on experience
with WBI
--Doug: Anything to add?
2) Building the "Narrative"
A verbal picture that clearly presents what the system is,
what it does, and gives a view of how it works.
3) 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.]
4) 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.)
5) 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.
6) 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.
7) Data Structures
Identifying the "atomic" structure (or structures) that can
be strung together to build the system.
8) Encodings & Protocols
How the structures are stored, accessed, and moved around.
