Is there anything new to report about Ockham. Both the web site and the wiki seem to have fallen silent after this announcement. I'm particularly interested in the assessment activity "estimated to begin in 3Q, 2005" (according to the wiki), and the format conversion service proposed by Emory, but missing from the service registry.
