Here’s a pie chart representation of the time distribution.

Licensing

Accessibility

· Discussion with Colin Clark regarding sim accessibility

· Investigated Java Accessibility Bridge for Windows, with JAWS screen reader and ZoomText magnifier

Fitness

Translations

· Rewrote translation loader to load directly instead of using ResourceBundle. This means correct language will be used in the simulation.

· We need to decide whether we’d like to fix this problem for all JAR files currently on tigercat, by copy/renaming translated files already in the JARs.
