         This element only has an effect when used in conjunction with the previous locality scheduling element. It tells the scheduler to use 'trigger files' to inform the project that more work is needed for specific files. The period is the number of seconds which the scheduler will wait to see if the project can create additional work. Together with project-specific daemons or scripts this can be used for 'just-in-time' workunit creation. See [LocalityScheduling Locality Scheduling].
  '''min_core_client_version'''::
-        If the scheduler gets a request from a client with a version number less than this, it returns an error message and doesn't do any other processing.
+        If the scheduler gets a request from a client with a version number less than this, it returns an error message and doesn't do any other processing.  The version number is expressed as an integer with the encoding major+100*minor.
  '''choose_download_url_by_timezone'''::
         When the scheduler sends work to hosts, it replaces the download URL appearing in the data and executable file descriptions with the download URL closest to the host's timezone. The project must provide a two-column file called 'download_servers' in the project root directory. This is a list of all download servers that will be inserted when work is sent to hosts. The first column is an integer listing the server's offset in seconds from UTC. The second column is the server URL in the format such as !http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu. The download servers must have identical file hierarchies and contents, and the path to file and executables must start with '/download/...' as in '!http://X/download/123/some_file_name'.
