 will produce a result by first filtering the dataset, running a map operation,
 and finally reducing the map operation to a single result.  
 
+\section{Creating a Walker}
+To be loaded by GATK, the walker must satisfy the following properties:
+\begin{enumerate}
+  \item It must be a loose class, not packaged into a jar file.
+  \item It must be in the unnamed package (in other words, the source
+    should not start with a package declaration).
+  \item It must subclass one of the basic walkers in the 
+    org.broadinstitute.sting.gatk.walkers package: BasicReadWalker or 
+    BasicLociWalker.
+  \item It must live in the directory \$STING\_HOME/dist/walkers.
+\end{enumerate}
+
 \section{Example}
 This walker will print output for each read it sees, eventually computing the
 total number of reads by mapping every read to 1 and summing all the 1s to
 realize the total number of reads.
