Project Review

• RIM Certification Test Update Project (PSS 886) (Virginia)
  • The status on the main test is as follows:
    • test has been upgraded to support the new RIM version (from 2.11 to 2.36). Please note that this effort was not trivial - significant changes were needed.
      • sent out to reviewers last Wednesday
      • reviewers (Woody and LLoyd) both took the test and sent back in-depth comments
      • all comments have been reviewed and are now being incorporated into a second draft. Since some of the changes are significant and there are many opportunities for error, one more review round will be needed to be sure the edits didn't break anything. Also, had to replace some questions completely.
      • expect the second draft to be sent to reviewers by end of week
      • due to the holidays expect comments back and incorporation of the comments into the test producing a final version by second week in January (before WGM) if that is acceptable -this is okay - we will announce at January meeting - will be offered in March
