• Shared designs, code, and hardware components
• Feature dependencies
• Schedule dependencies>
1.2. Project Deliverables
<List the major items to be delivered to the customers, subcontractors, integrators, or other parties. As appropriate, list the deliverables, their recipients, interim and final delivery dates, and delivery method. A table like the one below is a good way to show this information.>

-{{Annotation|AKA and see "Athole Brose," "Loch Erroch Side,” "Mr. Macdonald of Staffa's Strathspey," "Niel Gow's Second Wife [1]," “The Watchmaker.” Scottish, Strathspey. G Minor (Athole, Cole, Kerr, Skye, Surenne): A Minor (Williamson). Standard tuning. AB (Surenne): AAB (Athole, Cole, Gow, Kerr, Skye): AA'BB (Williamson). Under the title "Mr. Macdonald of Staffa's Strathspey," the tune is earliest credited to Daniel McLaren of Edinburgh, a native of Taymouth, Perthshire, who published it in 1794 (unfortunately, little is known of him). Gow and sons published the tune as “Niel Gow’s Wife” in their Complete Repository, Book 2 (1802) with composer credits to Niel Gow (1727-1807). Still later, in MacDonald’s Skye Collection (1887), it is credited to Duncan MacIntyre. The title has been altered to insert the word “Second” to “Niel Gow’s Wife”  to accommodate the apocryphal story of his fiddle being the famous fiddler-composer’s ‘second wife’ in his affections.  Niel did, however, have two wives, the first of whom, Margaret Wiseman, bore him five sons; his second, Margaret Urquhart, had no children. The association of instrument and intimate bond has been made with other fiddlers as well, and stems from the old saying that the minstrel’s ‘second wife’ was his harp. Donal Hickey, in his 1999 book on Sliabh Luachra musicians Stone Mad for Music, writes: “Pádraig (O’Keeffe) {1887-1963} remained single and he used to call the fiddle ‘the missus’, declaring that it gave no bit of trouble at all. ‘Just one stroke across the belly and she purrs’, he would say.”The tune is played in County Donegal as a highland and is associated with the playing of Danny O’Donnell, James Byrne and John Doherty. See The Northern Fiddler (1979), pgs. 81 (bottom tune, and untitled highland) and 194; the latter an untitled strathspey from the playing of Danny O’Donnell. Donegal fiddler Danny O’Donnell recorded the tune in the 78 RPM era, last in a set of three Highlands (preceded by “Polly Put the Kettle On [1]” and “The Bundoran Highland”). He called his set “The Thistle and Shamrock.” “The Watchmaker” is a related melody. “Niel Gow’s Second Wife” appears in the music manuscript copybook of John Burks, dated 1821, who may have been from the north of England (photocopy in ed. possession). It is a rather simplified form of the original strathspey, which retains only some of the characteristic dotted rhythms and “Scots Snap.” Carlin (The Gow Collection), 1986; No. 446.
