Several central components are now functioning to initial |
| 17 |
design parameters and data can now be passed through the |
| 18 |
system successfully. Many planning and design decisions |
| 19 |
are still being made, along with various specification |
| 20 |
documents. Detailed information can usually be found in |
| 21 |
the meeting minutes. Code is viewable via CVS to UKC |
| 22 |
users only. |

<center><h3>Naming History</h3></center> |

| 43 |
The name <b>i-scream</b> arose from a meeting whereupon one member |
| 44 |
of our group randomly chose to draw an ice cream on the white board. |
| 45 |
It later became apparent that we had no name for our project (other |
| 46 |
than 'The Project'). It seemed only natural to name our project after |
| 47 |
the ice cream that had been oh-so-randomly drawn on the white board. |
| 48 |
Copyright issues immediately ruled out anything involving Mr Whippy, |
| 49 |
so we had to settle for <b>i-scream</b>. And thus, we were left with a cunning |
| 50 |
play on words - it still sounded like <i>ice cream</i>, yet also |
| 51 |
served as a functional decription of our system - namely, one which |
| 52 |
screams at somebody if something has gone wrong... |
