There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Janet Murray, Professor of Digital Media in the School of Literature, Communication, and Culture, wrote Hamlet on the Holodeck, which is paraphrased here to describe the art of immersion: "every new medium that’s been invented, from print to film to television to cyberspace, has increased the transporting power of narrative. And every new medium has aroused fear and even hostility as a result." Source: Wired, March 10, 2011
