WTSP Updated: 28 February 2019
Feb. 28, 2019 Toru Nakagawa (WTSP Project Leader)
Dear WTSP Members,
WTSP pages are updated today in the "TRIZ Home Page in Japan".
We are now at the critical stage for initializing our WTSP activities in various countries.
Team formation is not smooth in many countries, and practical work for preparing WTSP Catalogs has not started in most countries.
We need your help and your involvement very much for forming the team and initializing the practical jobs in every country.
(0) Please fill in the Membership Application Form and send it to me as soon as possible.
(1) List of WTSP Members (83 Members from 31 countries) is posted in the (A2) Organization page
An Excel file of the list of all the Members (with or without the Membership Application Form) and the Invitees is attached in this email.
It should be used internally in the WTSP project for forming WTSP project and for the collaborative work.
Please check the list of Members and Invitees of WTSP.
Please communicate with the TRIZ colleagues listed there (and any further people) and form a WTSP Team in your country, with assignment of Country Editor(s).
(2) [WTSP] Letters and communications are also updated.
Besides the [WTSP] Letter (8M-B2) you received on Feb. 10, Letters (8M-A2), (8M-D2), and (8M-E2) are sent to people with some adjustments corresponding to their Membership status.
Please read the [WTSP] Letter (8M-G2), sent to the five Global Co-editors. It describes what we need to perform now at the present critical stage for WTSP.
Michael Orloff, one of Global Co-editors, started to work on the survey of TRIZ-related sites in Russia.
And he has met various difficulties. He has found my results of the Preliminary Internet Search are messy, noisy, and yet insufficient in finding important Web sites.
-- But it is practically the best Internet search for TRIZ- related sites which can be done by ordinary users.
That's why we need to build much better TRIZ sites
Catalogs, I responded.
He also asked me what is the main goals of WTSP, e.g., listing many TRIZ sites or obtaining many WTSP Members.
-- I answered: Our main goal is to introduce reliable and useful TRIZ-related Web sites to various people, e.g., beginners, users, professionals, etc.
We should pursue 'properly selected sites' instead of 'many sites with somewhat poor selection'.
'To invite more persons to become WTSP members' is a necessary means for such a purpose, especially for not missing good, important sites.
He says that 4 Members and 10 Invitees in Russia in the list (1) are too few for making Russia WTSP Catalog.
All these points discussed between Michael Orloff and myself may apply to the cases of every country, I suppose.
Please start trying the Web search or any other method to find 'reliable and useful' TRIZ related sites in your country.
-- Then you will see the problem, and you will find what to do.
(3) At the end of March, we are going to post the interim report of the Team formation and the manuscripts of Country WTSP Catalogs of all the countries.
Please upload such information in our Bitrix24 Platform, or send it to me via email by the end of March.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Best wishes,
Toru
