>> Tell me what is incorrect so I can change it.

In req's the flie location
(/mit/athena-backup/ad-hoc-requirements.txt) is wrong the file is in
the doc subdir.  FWIW, I did some work on this doc based on what Jeff
had written.

Diane pointed out the Coding Style info was incorrect

The manpages probably belong in /mit/athena-backup/src/man not doc.

the location listed in the "source & Binaries" section is confusing.
There is also some location info in the critera subsection.

I thought that the above location [\it was] the master source tree.

>> Tell me what is missing so I can add it.

There is no specification of machine types of the slave.  I believe
that we decided on Solaris and SunOS initally,

In req's. there is a file ref
(/mit/athena-backup/ad-hoc-requirements.txt) could you make it
clickable? 

The last 2 sentences in section a name several docs, it would be nice
if there were URL's attached.  Actually there are a number of things
throughout the document that I'd like to be able to click.

The Appendix Doc plan doesn't list the test plans.


>> Tell me what can be DELETED if anything.

from the intro:

I don't understand it, and I don't think what it is trying to say is
really necessary.
