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

“Words really do matter. The frames we build around them are not merely conveniences,” said Ian Bogost, Associate Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in Digital Media, at the 2011 Game Developers Conference. Bogost continued, “When we talk about climate change, we’re making political and ethical statements. ‘Gamification’ is easy. You can strap it on.” Source: Gamasutra - April 3, 2011
