ICE-RS cycle notes for the cycle ending 2007-06-21

Summary

In the previous cycle we branched the trunk in order to start on the work required to create the server side version of ICE along with annotations. The new ICE template was not as finished as we originally thought and thus more work is still required this cycle to establish a working version for user testing. The ICE Zotero template being developed by Ian Laurenson has been held up by the direction that the Zotero development team have taken however, we are proceeding with the requirements for the ICE-RS project regardless. This cycle will be 3 weeks due to staff on leave and will basically be a continuation of the work carried over from last cycle. This cycle we will also be looking into the requirements to publish a PHD dissertation to UNE's test repository hosted by the RUBRIC technical team.

Predicted work units: 145 (3 week cycle)
