Editor's Note (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 7, 2017)

This page is the official announcement of the start of 'World TRIZ Sites Project'.  The project is to work voluntarily for Building a page of TRIZ Sites in the world for the purpose of sharing information of TRIZ activities, results and accumulated knowledge.  I proposed it since 3 weeks ago by sending a series of four email documents to 95 TRIZ Leaders in the world.  In a separate page the four Proposal documents are posted together .

Invitation to World TRIZ Sites Project: Request for Your Voluntary Cooperation  Toru Nakagawa  Dec. 4, 2017 

Please note that the invitation is also open for any TRIZ leaders/colleagues. 
Could you please join us in the World TRIZ Sites Project to work for TRIZ? Together! Connected!!  

Note (Nakagawa, Dec. 12, 2017):  National Language Model in Japan (for all Non-English speaking countries):

In Japan there are many active and important Web sites in TRIZ written in Japanese only.  So I am asking my TRIZ Colleagues (in Japan) to join or support the 'World TRIZ Sites Project' in any of the following 3 ways.

(a) Contributor in Japanese (not a Member of the Project): To describe one's own (and some more around) TRIZ Web sites in Japanese in the standard format of the Project and contribute the documents to the Project (through one of Japanese Project Member).
(b) Member in Japanese only: Join the Project, use Bitrix24 platform, but in Japanese only. Contribute to work on the description and editing of TRIZ Web sites all over Japan, but handling Japanese documents only.
(c) Member in Japanese and in English: Join the Project in the ordinary manner. To work to describing and editing about TRIZ Web sites all over Japan, in Japanese and in English. And when the (English) Documents for the whole world are ready, to work collaboratively to introduce such document to Japanese people (by translating some important parts into Japanese).

Note (Nakagawa, Dec. 17): Records of communications between Nakagawa and many TRIZ Leaders for initializing this Project are posted in the page 'Letters from Readers (Nov. - Dec., 2017) .

Note (Dec. 27, 2017): Please refer the up-to-date information through the WTSP Project Index page .

Invitation to World TRIZ Sites Project:
Request for Your Voluntary Cooperation

 

                                                            December 4, 2017     Toru Nakagawa

Dear TRIZ Leaders,

As I have been communicating with you for these two weeks, we are now ready to start a new cooperative project ‘World TRIZ Sites Project’.  Summarizing the proposal of it, we wish you to join the project and cooperate with many TRIZ leaders/colleagues in the world.

The purpose of the project is clear in our symbol mark:

For these three decades, TRIZ has been proliferated much across the world to the extent that the various activities, achievements, and accumulated knowledge are not viewable easily.  We know that you and many others are working actively and posting their activities/results in their own Web sites. Thus let’s make a list of those TRIZ Web sites in the world, so that we all can get connected better and work together !

This project can best be carried out by the collaboration of many TRIZ leaders/colleagues in the world, working in different countries and in different languages.  Fortunately we can work with a groupware platform in the Internet  https://www.bitrix24.com/ .  We have chosen and set up our platform in the Bitrix24 system in the cloud.  Our site is  https://TRIZSites.bitrix24.com/  which can accept unlimited number of users and up-to 500 GB 100 GB of online storage.  [Corrected: TN Dec. 22, 2017] The platform has the features of mutual communication, document system, project management, etc.

Our plan of building and publicizing the documents of the World TRIZ Sites is illustrated in the figure shown below.  The documents are hierarchically structured, in the bottom-up manner, such as description of individual Web sites and a list of them in each country, a list of sites in each region, and finally a global list.  The documents are drafted by individual project members, reviewed and refined in the project, and then publicized for public view and use.  Documents are consistently managed for collaborative work and for security and publicity.

Corresponding to the structure of the documents and their processing, we are going to build our team in a similar structure.  All the project members are volunteers who join the project, work to describe a number of sites and a list of them in their country or TRIZ community, and mutually review the documents.  We need to have some Country editors, Regional editors, Global Co-editors. and Project leader.  We will need some members for technical supports also. It is a good idea for Country editors to ask owners/editors of individual TRIZ Web sites to contribute the description of their sites as Contributors outside the Project.

In our platform, we have already built some folder structure and stored the documents of proposals, and templates and samples of basic documents.  Since these documents are set in the Open Public Main Folder, people can see them with the public link of URL https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/~j3koj   https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/~GZOEV .  Such documents are listed at the end of this letter.

Note (Nakagawa, Dec. 8, 2017):   It is found in the Bitrix24 system that the Public Links are effective for individual files or for a set of files directly in the specified (sub-)folder, but not for files in sub-folders of a specified folder.  Thus, we are going to set a file 'Table of Public Links' (directly under 'Open Public' Main Folder), which describes the sub-folder structure and the Public Links for individual sub-folders.  See the table at the end of this article. By accessing to the Main Public Link https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/~j3koj  https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/~GZOEV , people can learn the Public Link necessary to access to the desired sub-folder.
--- We will need to consider how to make our future outputs open, in the situation of rather large document set. 

Note (Nakagawa, Dec. 17, 2018): The above note on Dec. 8 has been found incorrect. The Main Public Link has been changed into https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/~GZOEV .  With a Public Link anybody can access to the specified folder and all the subfolders and files for reading and downloading them.  -- In future, This sort of information of technical operations and contents of documents will be shown in a separate page.

We are now sending you and 95 TRIZ Leaders in the world an official invitation to join t he World TRIZ Sites Project.  Please make the following two procedures:

(a) To access to our platform with the URL: https://trizsites.bitrix24.com/?secret=8e5wo0yl .  And go ahead to open your user account at our platform.  You (and any of your colleagues) will be accepted as our members.  New member will be introduced automatically to all the members.  You may walk around to get familiar with various features, with the help of a lot of video instructions, and to visit our documents, and to draft and edit descriptions of sites for yourself.

(b) Please fill in the Membership Application Form   attached and send it to me via email (at nakagawa@ogu.ac.jp).  This will help us to organize our team effectively. 

Our initial (and also final) work is to describe about individual Web sites in TRIZ around us and make a list of them.  For this purpose, I made templates and samples of descriptions with Excel .xls .  Three sample files are attached here.  Please describe about your own and some other TRIZ sites around you and upload them in the platform.  Please feedback any comments and suggestions, using communication tools in the platform. 

Let’s work Together ! Connected !! for activating TRIZ and disseminating it to the whole world !!!

Sincerely and Best wishes,  Toru.
