ICE-RS cycle 2006-12-14
Summary
The previous cycle marked the real beginning for the ICE-RS project. On the application side the cycle consisted of work to improve how documents are converted and investigative tasks into improving support for MathType. On the administration side the open source server has been setup for USQ staff and an ICE-RS repository has also been setup. The Trac site is also Live so that we can have external user contributions. We have also established a number of pilot users and PHD dissertations to be marked up and converted. This next cycle we will continue work on improvements for the HTML rendering and MathType support and begin piloting ICE for PHD dissertations.
