Release date

October 23, 2013

In a nutshell

The theme of the first release might be summarized by the slogan "log in and see stuff!" Our goal is to get the product up and running so campus staff can enter it at key points (especially the DAMS) and get a feel for how it's going to look and work for them. This release is about configuration, set-up, and establishing infrastructure–tasks that will pave the way for some of the project's flashier and more sophisticated functions down the line. For the public interface, this release focuses on compiling research and sketching out resource needs.
