ICE cycle 2008-06-19
Summary
In the previous cycle we started piloting ICE 2.0 with two Electronic Publishing officers within the Distance and e-Learning Center (DeC) here at USQ. Indent functionality that is context driven was added to the toolbar and the order of the buttons updated from feedback provided. Ron is now at the stage that we can start testing changes made to resolve the conflict problems with ICE properties (.ice folders), as well as improvements to reduce threading issues. Linda has been working on resolving issues when using IE as well as minor bug fixes including package copy and searching.
This next cycle there are a few staffing changes, I (Daniel) will be leaving USQ in the middle of this next cycle, Bron Chandler will be taking over the project management side and Oliver will mostly working on other projects within LFII. Tasks for this next cycle include hand over tasks however, the software development side is business as usual, with the key focus on stabilizing version 2.0 and working on roll out tasks for use at USQ.
