[Bug-gnupedia] Requirements Document

[Bob Dodd]

Since our discussions have been running for a few days now, I though it
may be useful to suggest a table of contents for the project's
requirements document. 

I've steered clear of implementation isssues, I wanted to focus on the
"what", not the "how".
