Changed.  Let me know if something is wrong.

I think there used to be a "review guides task" but nobody could tell me 
what it was so I dropped it.  There was room in the schedule so I tacked 
the review period on to the initial translation period.

Please tell me exactly which task numbers you would like me to change 
the descriptions on.

If HTML files need to be built for your work they should be on the schedule.
   1) Who builds the HTML files?
   2) When do they need to be built?
   3) Which task (task number) comes after building the files?
      --if it is not already on the schedule please tell me the correct 
description so I can add it.


Thanks,
John
