History
The BRICKS project released the first prototype of its software framework (v0.1) in December 2005. In February 2007, the third prototype release was made available. The next release is planned in July 2007. The BRICKS project work is partly funded by a research grant from the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme under the Information Society Technologies priority, action line “Technology. Enhanced Learning and Access to Cultural heritage.” The BRICKS Consortium invested an overall 12.2 million Euros in the project, including funding from the European Commission and consortium partners. The European Commission funding will end in June 2007. The BRICKS Consortium announced in February 2007 the launch of a BRICKS Developer Community to host BRICKS development and documentation activities beyond the EC project lifespan.
