Summary
In the previous cycle we were mainly focused on improvements to the installation process. This involved much more effort than originally estimated The changes are almost complete for ICE 1.2, which we have unofficially released an alpha version for windows. Work has started on updating the Word template toolbar and we almost have an APA Word template.
There we are few issues that prevented the majority of tasks being completed this cycle.
Tasks preventing the re-rendering bug being resolved:
Unable to get pysvn 1.5 to load on the Mac. (Daniel is in contact with Barry Scott who is the developer that looks after pysvn)
The amount of re-factoring required to implement unit tests for this was/is greater than expected.
Support for USQ staff was greater then expected with the start of Semester 1
Work for ICE-RS pilots has been minimal due to the start of semester 1 at USQ
The requirements to improve the installation process by making the config editor 'smarter' was greater than expected.
USQ EPS staff have not been able to do much testing this cycle due to courseware work loads.
This cycle we will be finishing of changes for the installation process and release an ICE 1.2 alpha version. We will be finishing off a test version of the APA Word template as well as continue with the ICE template toolbar changes. Since USQ EPS staff are rather busy we are going to use the python render for all changes to the ICE website, including the user guide as part of the testing.
Predicted work units: 60

About the cycle notes
The cycle notes are used to summarize the outcomes of the completed cycle and provide stakeholders with an overview of the tasks for the next cycle. They are also used to raise any issues for discussion and provide other information for those who are unable to attend the meetings. Specific information on tasks to be completed are available in the ticketing system, see below.
