We do some planing, resulting in a System specification.
Waiting for the review of the system specification there's not much we can do. we look into the different specifications and libraries we will use ( CORBA, XML, SSL etc).
Work is done on dotcom, resulting in a mostly working factory. Big fights with java to get CORBA working ends up with a (temporary) switch to python for the CORBA client part.
This web-page is set up (at least a first version).
We got our design approved, and did some planning for a couple of hours, we now have everything pretty much nailed down.
Some SSL work.
