ICE cycle 2008-07-09
Summary
Last weeks cycle was spent bug fixing and stabilizing.
Sam spent his time getting back into the swing of things, fixing some outstanding toolbar issues and looking at Word 2007. Bug fixing and user issues for both ICE1 and ICE2 kept Linda busy. Extra book pages seem to be template related, but this requires more testing.
Subversion challenges baffled Ron but he believes things are looking better.
Illness meant that not all staff were present all cycle.
We have decided to change to weekly cycles now that bug fixing is our main focus. During this next week we are hoping to merge Ron's branched code back with the trunk. Making sure the code is stable before threading issues are completed. Again stabilization of ICE2 will be our priority.
Once key bug fixes are completed, Sam will commence the Foreign Document Macro feature. This feature will allow a non-ice-styled document to be loaded into an editor and it's existing styles will then be formatted as ICE styles. An extension of this will be a find and replace mechanism to convert original styles to ICE styles and then reverse the procedure if required.
Predicted work units: 50

About the cycle notes
The cycle notes are used to summarize the outcomes of the completed cycle and provide stake-holders 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.
