Dear TRIZ Leaders/ Colleagues,
From : Toru Nakagawa, Professor Emeritus, Osaka Gakuin University
"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" has been updated
in English and Japanese pages
on Mar. 18 and yesterday (dated Mar. 31, 2019).

[1] Preliminary Internet Searches (2)
of TRIZ-related Sites in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
(2A) sites written in English,
(2B) in Russian (TN and Michael Orloff),
(2C) in German,
(2D) in French,
(2E) in Spanish/Portuguese,
(2F) the sites in USA written in English.
--------------------------------
[1] Preliminary Internet Searches (2)
of TRIZ-related Sites in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
Surveys of TRIZ-related sites are carried out in a top-down
approach by use of Internet Search engines.
This series is named '2nd Round Preliminary Internet Search'.
The searches are carried out for the TRIZ-related sites in
the whole world written (2A) in English, (2B) in Russian,
(2C) in German, (2D) in French, (2E) in Spanish/Portuguese,
and also (2F) the sites in USA written in English.
Processes of the internet search and further data handling
for understanding and evaluating the sites are devised and
described in detail.
Quick visit of the sites and applying the Site search (i.e.,
searching TRIZ-related pages inside the site) are used
to understand and evaluate the sites.
Evaluation of sites in 5 levels is introduced as:
◎ Most important,
○ Important, and
□ Worthy in the World WTSP Catalog;
△ Worthy in Country WTSP Catalogs; and
－ Irrelevant/neglected in the WTSP Catalogs.
Classifying the site types with the roles of the site (owners)
are also introduced.
For confirming the survey strategy, the effectiveness of
the 'Base Document' (i.e., the annotated list of 'Selected 120
TRIZ Links in the world', which was compiled by Nakagawa in
May 2008) has been examined.
The present situations of the TRIZ-related sites in Europe
listed in 2008 have been examined,
to find that nearly half of them are gone/inactive while
the other half are active and hence their descriptions
10 years ago are now obsolete.
Thus it is clear that we should carry out our surveys newly
without trying to revise the old documents.
Results of the surveys (2A) through (2F) are shown in detail
in the HTML pages.
The sites written in non-English languages are not evaluated
yet because of language difficulty for me.
Description of introductions of sites is left to be done
by the collaboration of many TRIZ colleagues.
[2] Preliminary Internet Searches of TRIZ-related Sites
(2A) written in English in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
Internet search with Yahoo.Japan outputs 106 sites.
Visiting sites quickly and applying the Site search,
the sites are evaluated as:
◎ 6, ○ 13, □ 29, △ 33, － 25.
In the HTML page, top 81 sites are listed with their
Evaluation symbol, site name, site URL, and number of
pages hit by Site search.
Some more details are shown in the .docx file .
(2B) written in Russian in the world (TN and Michael Orloff)
Internet search outputs 106 sites.
They are (listed in the HTML page) with page title and
site name, site URL, and URL for site search;
but no evaluation yet.
Some more details in .docx
Michael Orloff used various Internet searches together
with his background knowledge, and listed
the URLs of 26 Selected sites operated by TRIZ professionals,
and 49 sites/pages of TRIZ users.
He says: This list is not the best and last, but maybe not bad!.
Posted both in HTML and in .docx .
(2C) written in German in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
Internet search outputs 107 sites.
They are (listed in the HTML page) with page title and site name,
site URL, and URL for site search; but no evaluation yet.
Irrelevant 7 sites are omitted. See .docx
(2D) written in French in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
Internet search outputs 90 sites.
They are (listed in the HTML page) with page title and site name,
site URL, and URL for site search; but no evaluation yet.
Irrelevant 8 sites are omitted. See .docx
(2E) written in Spanish/Portuguese in the world (Toru Nakagawa)
Internet search outputs 123 sites, but 73 of them are irrelevant
because of a female singer's name Triz..
50 sites are (listed in the HTML page) with page title and
site name, site URL, and URL for site search;
but no evaluation yet. See .docx
(2F) written in English in USA (Toru Nakagawa)
Interner search outputs 90 sites.
Visiting sites quickly and applying the Site search,
the sites are evaluated as:
◎ 6, ○ 11, □ 27, △24, －22.
In the HTML page, top 68 sites are listed with their Evaluation
symbol, site name, site URL, and number of pages hit by Site
search.
Some more details are shown in the .docx file .
[3] Examining the Changes in TRIZ-related Sites since 2008
(in Europe as Samples) (Toru Nakagawa)
Effectiveness of the annotated list of 'Selected 120 TRIZ Links
in the world' (compiled by Nakagawa in May 2008) has been examined.
And we get the conclusion that the list described 10 years ago
is quite obsolete and we must carry out our surveys newly
without trying to revise the old documents.

[4] WTSP Mails and Letters: Mar. - Apr. 2019 (till mid Mar.)
（Editor: Toru Nakagawa (WTSP Project Leader)）
- An appeal was posted in Linked In
- TRIZ Sites written in Russian language in the whole world
are surveyed by Nakagawa, and listed by Michael Orloff.
TRIZ sites written in English in the whole world are
surveyed by Nakagawa.
-------------------------------------
Please take a look at the list of sites obtained in (2A) to (2F).
While compiling them, I myself have found many interesting and
important sites which I did not know before.
At the same time, you may recognize some other good sites are
missing in these lists.
Carrying out further surveys, describing the introductions of
individual site, evaluating them, and editing them into
World and Country WTSP Catalogs, are our jobs.
We have found a practical process for achieving our WTSP goals.
Let's work Together ! Connected !!
Best wishes,
Toru

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
