If you can't find the baseline design, send e-mail to your TA and ask for a hint. If there is no baseline design for the system you chose, enter "No baseline design" (but make sure there really isn't one!).
    4. List the people who have worked on the subsystem in the past, with links to their profile pages if they have one

    Notes on this problem:

    • The subsystem you choose is not necessarily the subsystem that you will work on for the term. Those assignments will be determined by the team, working with the TA.
