-- How-to manuals chapters for specific computational tasks (patterns of use)
(for example, how to do iteration in a workflow)
-- Generate a template automatically from the actor code and put it in the kar.
The detailed documentation should be later filled in manually on this template
by the doc writer.
-- Solidify the actor metadata format before Oct 26th 2005. Explain this at the
meeting that day.  Detail: WE'LL UPDATE WHAT MATT HAS PUT TOGETHER AND ALSO
GENERATE DOC TEMPLATES FOR 3 EXAMPLE WORKFLOWS. Then we'll let Samantha and
Laura know to put it.
-- Go over the actor list and generate a web page including links to all the
kars and their documentation in a structured form.
-- Create an XSLT processor to format documentation from the metadata.
-- Implement a Java application to automatically create doc metaata templates
and list of actor for the webpage.
