Information about “BRAINSTORM! 1 OF 2 (2305 ALSO)”
BRAINSTORM is a new approach to group problem solving. It facilitates
network group discussions by allowing users to respond to any number of
organized "topics" instead of to individual people.
Most E-Mail packages allow user A to send a message to user B, and
perhaps send a carbon copy to users C, D, and E. While this type of
message management is ideal for individual communication, it falls
short when the goal is to gather feedback from a group while keeping
everyone abreast of the project status.
BRAINSTORM is "topic" structured, not "user" structured. Messages
and replies don't even include a reference to the addressee. The focal
point of a BRAINSTORM message is the "topic." Any user can go to any
topic and read what others have written there. BRAINSTORM keeps track
of what a user has already read and what's still unread.
BRAINSTORM is not a replacement to your existing E-Mail package. It is
a supplemental program to structure communication between your network
users. Network-compatible with Novell 2.0a and above, Banyan Vines 2.x
or above, or any network which supports DOS 3.x file
and record-locking, or the Share command.

BRAINSTORM is a new approach to group problem solving. It facilitates
group discussions on a network by allowing users to respond to any
number of organized "topics," instead of individual people.
Most E-Mail packages which come with a network allow user "A" to send a
message to user "B," and perhaps send a carbon copy to users "C," "D"
and "E." While this type of message management is ideal for individual
communication, it falls short when the goal is to gather feedback from a
group while keeping everyone abreast of the project status.
BRAINSTORM is not "user" structured, but rather "topic" structured.
Messages and replies do not even include a reference to whom the message
is addressed. The focal point of a BRAINSTORM message is the "topic."
Any user can then go to a topic and read what others have written
there. BRAINSTORM keeps track of what a user has already read,
and what's new to read.
Brainstorm is not meant to be a replacement to your existing E-Mail
package, but rather as a supplemental program to structure communication
between your network users. It is network-compatible with Novell 2.0a
and above, Banyan Vines 2.x or above, or any network which supports
DOS 3.x file and record locking or the Share command.
