Files and Mantis

This is sort of a catch up post for all of the things that have been happening in the past few weeks.

The prototype applets have all been loaded onto the ccd.rpi.edu server. They all consistently work on Windows 32, 64, and Linux. On mac they seem to load only via the .jnlp file link, though this also seems to depend on the mac used to launch the software.

I have been reading on customizing the Mantis software installation that we will be using as a bug tracker application. I've added some well known feature requests to the bug tracker software that are currently being worked on. I think that the mantis software offers a great opportunity to help keep the software development effort organized.

Mantis is available here.

In my travels, I have also been looking up information about snapshots for the csdt tools. Adding the ability to take a picture will allow the kids to create artifacts to be posted on the community site without complicating the process of doing so too much. It would really be nice to record a motion picture for the simulation tools, but the logistics of that definitely still need to be worked out.
