It looks like Trac will let me add this in one of two ways:

1. A text box where you can type in author names.
2. A series of checkboxes, one for each chapter author (e.g., "Jeff  
Squyres __, Bill Gropp ___, ...etc.").

The advantage of #1 is simplicity.  The advantage of #2 is  
commonality / ease of searching.

Which would you prefer?

Probably not -- I think attachments are attachments.  Perhaps we  
should just have a filename convention?  chap-<foo>.pdf, like they are  
produced when you "make" in the chapter subdirectory?  I'd also  
suggest that authors should snip and only include the relevant pages  
when possible (rather than the entire chapter)
