+  3. A working Turba installation.
+
+     Hermes queries Turba for clients (indirectly--it actually queries Whups,
+     see the next prerequisite).  It doesn't matter what type of address book
+     is configured for clients, but it is a good practice to create one which
+     is separate from the rest of your contacts.
+
+  4. A working Whups installation.
+
+     Hermes queries Whups to determine what projects and clients are available.
+     (Hermes' projects are call modules in Whups.)  Whups must be installed
+     and configured to use a Turba address book for clients.
+
+     Note that modules must be assigned clients in Whups for those clients
+     and projects to show up in Hermes.
