A text file is generated by a plurality of users. Comments associated with portions of the text file are inputted utilizing offline computing units. A first and a second location of first and second portions of the text file are automatically obtained. A first review data packet (RDP), and a second RDP are automatically generated. The first and second RDPs consist of one or more comment fields, one or more separators, and one or more effort fields. The comment field consists of comment, author, date, line number, severity, priority, open status, and category. The first and second RDPs are distributed, without the text file, to a third computing unit which utilizes the first and second RDPs to display, respectively, the first comment together with the first portion, and the second comment together with the second portion.
