ICE-RS notes for the cycle ending 2007-05-31

Summary

In the previous cycle we reached and passed the expected number of work units. In summary we released ICE 1.2 Release Candidate 2 with fixes for images plus Books and the ICE template toolbar is approx 60% completed but not tested. We also created the server side version of ICE for browsing, with annotations still to be added. The Zotero template has been re-factored and a request to the Zotero developers about using ids has been made, thanks Ian.

This cycle we will be finishing of bugs with 1.2 RC2 so we can release 1.2 final and work is to continue on both the ICE and Zotero word processor templates. We will also be changing ICE so that it no longer uses SVN properties to store meta data, this is to not only resolve issues with using SVN properties but is also required for annotations.

Predicted work units: 100
