Additional rules to follow:

All the folders should contains their individual readme.txt files containing a single line about the files contained in that folder.
Sub-folders inside the source code folder are an exception to this.
Comments inside the code would do it.
Reports should be available in both PDF and editable format.
Please include your PPT's as well in the reports folder in a subfolder.
README should be in .txt format.
For Latex source files create two sub folders- tex_files & images
Work update directory should contain all work update slides in ppt format under slides directory.
The philosophy behind the manual directory is as follows: USER manual- anybody should be able to install and run your system, your user manual should facilitate this.
PROGRAMMER manual- anybody should be able to take your code and be able to modify it.
Your programmer manual should facilitate this.
Source files should be present- ppts for slides and latex files for report
NO zip files (latext files in text format)
Slides directory will have 4 subdirectories- MTP1, MTP2, Seminar, Work-update (DDPs map accordingly)
Put down the reviews recieved after submissions to any of the conferences in the Papers directory for the CD.
