16 <        During the "project week" coding has got well underway,
17 <        although mostly in the experimental stage. Planning and
18 <        design decisions are still being made, along with various
19 <        specification documents. Detailed information can usually
20 <        be found in the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS

28 +        The i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System Reports
29 +        are now visible on the web.  If you are <b>not</b> a local user, then you may
30 +        view some of the output in the <b><a href="screenshots/">screen shots</a></b> section or you may view some
31 +        static example content on the <a href="reports/"><b>Reports Demo</b></a> pages.
32 +        You may view the latest information about each machine, historical 24-hour
33 +        reports and alerts for each machine.  Our own i-scream server is running constantly,
34 +        along with several hosts to enable plenty of data harvesting.  If you would
35 +        like your i-scream web reports to be linked from this site, then please email us
36 +        at <a href="mailto:dev@i-scream.org.uk">dev@i-scream.org.uk</a>

41 +        Our current host development allows us to pass machine statistics
42 +        to our distributed filter arrangement, which then processes the
43 +        data and stores it for later use.  An example of such use is the
44 +        historical report generator which produces graphs of machine
45 +        usage over periods of time.  A real-time
46 +        client is also available (Conient) and alert information can be
47 +        displayed to the public via dynamic web pages.

52 +        The latest builds of the i-scream Distributed Central Monitoring System
53 +        are now available for <b><a href="/downloads/">download</a></b> from this
54 +        website.  To assist in our addition of features to the system, we
55 +        would be extremely grateful to receive feedback from anybody who has
56 +        any comments about the system.  You may email the development team

70 >        lever arch folders.  The project, consisting of source code, user,

73 >        the project is still being developed by the <a href="acknowledgements.shtml">core development team</a>

97          It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other
98          than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after
99          the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board.
100          Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy,

102          play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also
103          served as a functional decription of our system - namely, one which
104          screams at somebody if something has gone wrong...
