On the naming of things (klogs=knowledge sharing notebooks). (SOURCE:McGee's Musings)-Hmm. I think we are getting there!I personally don't like any name with the term "knowledge management" because this conjures up visions of hard to use systems dictated by a centralized knowledge management priesthood, but I like "knowledge sharing notebooks", "personal knowledge publishing" and "professional knowledge publishing". There's been an interesting stream of discussion over the past week about finding a better term than klogs on the premise that "klog" is a bit short in the marketing pizazz department. Matt Mower started the discusion and Roland offered his insights. Now David here is adding his two cents (tuppence I suppose for David). I've been mulling the issue over as well and I'm not as keen on the PKP or TKP notions put forth. To me "publishing" isn't the key issue, sharing is. I would suggest Knowledge Sharing Notebooks both to emphasize the sharing aspect and diminish the pyschological barrier the "publishing" raises. [Roland Tanglao's Weblog] [Ron Lusk's Radio Weblog]
Maybe something with Digital but also with a reffrence to engineering something. I remember being advised to start a event log any time I detected an all hands IT emergency because the guy with the most accurate log will be able to define what actually happend in all the post mortam meetings.
Digital Ships Log, Digital Knowledge bla , oh well; it worked well for cable, people understood clearly that digital cable was better than plain old cable but could fill in the blanks in terms favorable to themselves.
It may be that Blog wins out in the end because Web Log is still the best description that I've used with people new to the topic. I mean I thought web surfing was kind of dumb but now we all web surf.
