This directory contains presentations and movies used for the AI Lab
tours. It contains this readme file, projects.txt file that lists all
the projects represented in the tour, and individual project
directories. All the project names should start with a capital letter
to make automatic processing easier.

projects.txt file lists all of the current projects and their status.
It is used as a table of context and as a to-do list. Every time
changes are made in this directory, they should be recored in
projects.txt file.

Project directories have a standard structure. For example, directory
RandomProject should contain:


RandomProject.ppt - power point file with most up-to-date presentation;  
		  (This may be in a Low_Tech folder)
RandomProject-details.ppt - optional more detailed description of the
		  project;  (This may be in a High_Tech folder)


movies - directory that contains current movies for the project;
	   (Any movies included in the above ppt presentations
            are most likely inserted from this file (literally,
            using "insert from file" in powerpoint).  This means that
            changing the structure of these directories will break the
            presentations unless you take precautions to update
            the movie paths in each one.)

old - directory that contains old presentations and movies (in old/movies) for this project;
new - a directory that contains new material for the project that has not been
      incorporated into the presentation yet (should be empty most of the time).




NOTE: misc directory contains the overview talk, the intro and the
movie lists. This is there to help organizing the projects. It should
be removed once we are done with the old presentations.
