+ITERATION_08 and ITERATION_09 Summaries
 
+Today's report covers our last two Iterations. The team has been very busy
+and very productive. During these Iterations, the team achieved many of its
+goals and drastically advanced Sophie 2 capabilities. We released Alpha 3,
+available for download at http://www.sophie2.org/users/downloads.html, and
+we are now looking forward to our first beta version, scheduled for the 14th
+of August. The new user interface will be included in this release.
+
+We have posted two demo books, which can be found at:
+http://sophie2.org/trac/wiki/ITERATION_10/Release/UserDocumentation/DemoBook
+s
+and updated the user tutorials, available at:

+
+During the eighth Iteration, the team held a very productive two day seminar
+at Panichishte, clarifying design ideas and planning integration. Several
+new developers joined the team during this period.
+
+A significant event during the ninth Iteration was a demonstration of the
+Sophie 2 Alpha 2 release on the 2nd of July. Two videos of the demonstration
+are available at:
