-        The project is currently undergoing planning decisions.
-        The implementation of this central monitoring system is
-        expected to completed before Easter.
+        Several central components are now functioning to initial
+        design parameters and data can now be passed through the 
+        system successfully. Many planning and design decisions
+        are still being made, along with various specification
+        documents. Detailed information can usually be found in
+        the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS to UKC
+        users only.

+        Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
+        to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
+        data and stores it for later use.  An example of such use is the
+        historical report generator which produces graphs of machine
+        usage over periods of time (viewable in a web browser).  Realtime
+        clients are also currently being developed - one Java Swing GUI
+        version and also a command line version that can run in a terminal
+        window.
