Engineer TCSI,

Name:		The name of the artifact.
Description:	What the artifact is or does.
Features:	An expansion of the description that tells why 
                this artifact is of interest.  
                Which characteristics of this artifact make it
                worthwhile to use/reuse/peruse?
History:	Why was this artifact developed? When? By whom? 
                Under what authority?
Status:		To what degree is the artifact readily usable in new or
		ongoing development?  This section would include both
		technical and legal/commercial considerations.
Documentation:	Pathnames of documentation directories and/or of
                specific documents describing the artifact.
Code Location:	Pathnames of directories containing the source code.
Language:	The  programming language(s) in which the artifact 
                is implemented.
Dependencies:	Other software needed to successfully build or run the
		artifact.
Keywords:	Comma-separated list of topics under which this artifact 
		profile should be found.
Parent:		If the artifact is part of some larger artifact, 
                the name of the larger artifact (and a link to its
                profile page, if available).  E.g., the TSP Code 
                Generator is part of the TSP Product.
Notes:		Other things worth noting, both about the artifact
                itself and about its docs and code. This can include
                wishlist items for further development, and anything
                else that seems important but that didn't fit into the
                other headings.  
		Contributors should feel free to include suggestions
		here for other standard headings in the profile.
