 Continuing work on the statistical interface was the focus of the last two months. In addition to general development and research, notable milestones included:

- Wrote and submitted an NSF grant to partially fund research and development for two years of the Zelig Interface, Automated Model Selector, Result Accumulator.
- Demonstrated one tailored version of the interface to program review officer funding part of project as technology transfer grant for engineering application of Zelig.

 The forthcoming timetable for this work includes:

- Sept 30 we are concluding current phase of work on engineering application of Zelig, and writing proposal for next phase of work (Oct 14).

 **Zelig**

 Zelig has been under continued incremental development. Included in this is studying how to improve the publication and distribution of documentation across platforms (pdf/html/ebook) through use of more general markdown language than the current combination of Sweave/LaTeX provides. Forthcoming targets are:

- September we are finalizing release of Zelig(4.2), ZeligChoice(0.8-1), ZeligMultilevel(0.7-1) and ZeligGAM(0.7-1) to the CRAN repository.
- October we are beginning work on Zelig version 5, which primarily involves a new architecture utilizing R's Reference Classes to overcome current environment issues.
