Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Manoj / Kavindra,

In my following mail , I had offered to give you ( without any monetary consideration ) , the source code and database of :


The idea is to provide that “ missing motivation “ to the big companies for contributing

Can we discuss this when we talk at 10 am ?

Dear Kavindra :

Many thanks for your prompt response and – more importantly – for your CRITIQUE

I have no doubt in my mind that persons like you with such “ insights “ , will , also find the right answers to the issues raised !

I am willing to contribute by exchanging ideas across the table, whenever convenient . That would be more productive than an exchange of emails

However , in a hurry , as far as providing “ motivation “ to the Contributors is concerned, I am willing to consider merging ( without any expectation ) of,


with Empower.com

Let me know when we can meet – and where

Incidentally , just now , I found following post on my LinkedIn page !

Thanks Hemen Bhai,

Here are my initial observation based on a quick glance :

-       It looks more like a Document Exchange/Repository (which his fine) but with a weak motivation model for contributors. These seems to be not enough motivation for someone to contribute !
Contributors/Big-companies have to remove confidential information or legal terms from their forms etc., before uploading. All this is Time, Efforts which needs stronger motivation ! Access to MSME Database is one motivation you talked about but that may not be enough.
-       There is no guarantee that someone will find the right content for a given need or a given ‘situation’ ! The ‘context’ of the document may be missing.
-       The model is too generic, too all purpose, discovery based (may call it luck based). Obviously it will Evolve on daily basis to become better, but how will it hit the critical mass or take-off point is not clear.
-       There are No Experts to Curate the content ! It completely depends on the contributor. We are not committing to goodness or correctness or real utility of the content. There is no Expert to ensure anything here, and no Expert to guide someone to search right combination of documents for a given ‘Situation’.
-       Experts could have also ‘Sourced’ right contents from other Public sites including something like APQC (which can be subscribed to) to get started on this.
After all Content is the King and we are leaving this completely to Chance !
-       No idea as to how to make it popular ! Mere endorsement by Govt or a big corporation  will not take it off ! The mission is Noble but that is also not enough as you very well know.

Abhay – any more points you may add pl.

Warm regards,
Kavindra.
