Just wondering -- what is the rationale behind something going under on-line 
help versus the IS pages?  I would have expected this (as a statement of 
policy kind of thing) to be under the IS pages, probably with various 
pointers from the on-line help pages.

I also know that the access lists for modifications are quite different, 
which may influence where something is stored?  There may also be 
differences in the update setup -- i.e., some lockers have dot-versions, 
allowing them to be updated and then "released", some have multiple 
replications, etc.  Are there CVS (or other version control) systems in
place?

Has there been some thought given to the "best" location for various pages?  
What factors were taken into consideration?  I would expect maintenance and 
upkeep to be one, for example.  Who is likely to be updating the pages, and 
what is the process for keeping them updated -- that may influence which 
lockers we want to tuck things into.

:)I have moved a copy of this file to 
:)http://web.mit.edu/olh/Private/athenize.html, and have put a link to it on 
:)the main olh page (http://web.mit.edu/olh/).

:)You won't be able to see these changes until Friday (i.e., after the olh 
:)locker is released tonight).

:)Kris can go ahead and add the xrefs to the IS pages...
