Summary
By the end of the previous cycle the conversion of the dissertation by A. Robins was 60% complete. A Fedora repository was setup on a development machine and we we able to publish directly to it directly from ICE.
Dr Peter Sefton meet with Prof. Peter Murray-Rust and Jim Downing from the Unilever Center for Molecular Science Informatics while in the UK. We will be working with them to look at integrating the CML(Chemical Markup Language) into ICE as a 3D render. Peter has already done some initial work using their Crystaleye service, you can read this about on Peters blog.
On the application side work continued on removing the need for SVN properties and we are now at the start user testing and refactoring stage. After which work can continue again on the server side version.
The ICE templates are at a stage where they can be user tested and the ICE Zotero template has been relocated to the Zotero SVN repository.
Due to staff being unavailable and being a short cycle this next cycle we be mainly some user testing, bug fixes and refactoring.
Predicted work units: 25 (1 week cycle and staff resources at 60%)
