> Dear All,
>
> I just wanted to write to formally announce the roll out of our new
> website and logo.  If you haven’t visited the website recently please take
> a look.  To read more about the motivation behind the changes and other new
> features to come check here:
>
> https://www.alice.org/new-website-and-logo-launched/
>
> We are very excited about the launch and hope it will enable us to better
> support all of you.  We have had a couple speed bumps related to the
> migration that have been brought to our attention by many of you so please
> don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions or needs due to the
> changes.
>
> I also wanted to point everyone back to the Wonderland teams VR work.
> They completed their semester and have done some very good documentation
> and analysis related to their exploration of VR to teach CS.  Their actual
> project code is also being shared through github if anyone was wanting to
> test them out.

> Finally in response to the issues that seem to be coming up a lot lately
> related to audio being buggy and in some cases crashing and corrupting
> worlds - We are working on this.  We definitely would appreciate anyone who
> has had this issue submit their worlds and the audio files to us so we have
> more data.  We also have a summer intern with audio background coming on
> board shortly who will be helping us to triage this, create how to
> materials for prepping audio into the formats that are playing nice, and
> broadening our provided library.  In the meantime please remind students to
> save incremental versions of their work and to err on the safe side by
> saving worlds before running them (we are looking for more data points on
> the idea that the corrupted worlds are coming from saved worlds that are
> being saved while Alice is in the error state following audio issues)
>
> I hope everyone is enjoying the end of their semesters and transitioning
> to summer.
>
> Thank you again for your commitment to Alice and most importantly to
> helping each other.

> Sincerely,
