Iteration 5

The goal of this iteration is to relocate cohorts out of the Core Framework.

Tasks

Core Framework
- Remove the cohort module; All cohort functionality will be located in the cohort libraries (age-only, biomass). Extensions will retrieve the succession extension's cohorts via the core's site-variable registry. ( Srinivas )
- Develop a strategy for accomplishing the tasks for Main, PlugIn, Species, Ecogions (Sridevi)
- Begin implement tasks for Main, PlugIn, Species, Ecogions (Sridevi)
Cohort Libraries
- Update age-only and biomass cohort libraries for the removal of core's cohort module. This includes the removal of the type-independent cohort interfaces.( Srinivas )
Utility Library
- Finish issues 1 (copyright notice) and 2 (license info).( Sridevi, Jimm )
- Review to-do list here at this site, and move tasks not yet done to issue tracker at Google Code.(Jimm )

Cohort module removed. Testing is just beginning. Need to merge the 6.0 extension branches into the trunk.
Age-only and biomass cohort libraries updated. The original type-independent cohort class from the core was extracted and is now a base library from which cohort libraries will be derived. Initially only test age-only.
Strategy developed for Main, PlugIn, Species, Ecoregions. Some tasks begun.
Issues 1 and 2 completed.
To-do list revised and moved to Google Code.
