Abstract
A slide kit is assembled with the collaboration of a number of reviewers who may be geographically separated. The slides are posted to a web site which is accessible by the reviewers. The reviewers post comments relating to particular slides. The comments are collated and considered, and a new version of the slide kit is prepared. A disposition diagram is also prepared, either explicitly or internally, to track changes to the slide kit from one version to the next. By keeping track of such changes, the system can associate the various comments with the correct slide, even though the slide numbers may have changed from one version of the slide kit to the next.
