Sorry if i'm being obtuse, but what's an 'in' parameter? I just went over
the to bookcase and picked up the UML book i have here, Applying UML and
Patterns, but can't find anything about an 'in' parameter. Such is life when
you're self taught. The puzzle pieces are much more scattered.

That's saying you have two 'in' parameters name 'contact' and 'group',
and they are of type 'Contact' and type 'Group' respectively.  Here is
is in Java syntax:

public void myMethod(Contact contact, Group group)

I'd highly recommend picking up a UML book.  Not necessarily to learn
UML for everyday use, but at least to understand the concepts, because
they'll come through even in the simplest pencil'n'paper modelling
sessions.
