Missing Team Project

[LCB001]

Just noticed that Rosetta@Home was missing from my teams, Hardware Canucks, list of projects.

It is listed in my users list however.

This might be because the team name there is HardwareCanucks (no space) vs the Hardware Canucks (with a space) at most other projects.

Also I hope the list of available projects will expand to include the following when the competition goes live;

Gerasim
SPT
Climate prediction

Thanks

Hi

If the team name on the Rosetta project website is mis-spelled, then the founder of that team (SugarJ) should edit it, so as to correct it.

EDIT: If the founder is no longer active then I suggest you request the foundership, using the Rosetta website and then this project can be added to your team here on FB.

However, as long as the "Cross-project ID" is the SAME, across *every* project that Hardware Canucks is registered to, then the spelling should not be an issue.

So, check this on each project website so ensure it is the same.

Also I hope the list of available projects will expand to include the following when the competition goes live;

Gerasim
SPT
Climate prediction

I think there is an issue adding Gerasim to the FB Marathon/Sprint, as there is some web error, which I'll look into.

For SPT and CPDN/Climate Prediction, it is just a question of whether they are offering work regularly.

SPT is a new project and few tasks have been available in the last few months. For CPDN, the time required for each task is usually very, very long, so it is a question of whether it is worth including this project, if only a few FB members are taking part?

Thanks for your suggestion it was indeed a Cpid problem which has been fixed including the spelling.

Rosetta was one of our first Boinc projects (2008) and some of the early ones had different founders who used different spellings.

Gerasim; perhaps check with Skillz or Bok as they don't seem to have a problem getting the stats.

SPT; has had a constant supply of work since before the new year, better than some of the other big projects here.

Climate Prediction; The latest WU's have been shorter (6 to 10 days) and there has been quite a few available with lots more coming in march, also that's why it's called a marathon.

Hi

Thanks for the info.

Glad you got the CPID issue sorted out !!

Yes, I know this - as for UK BOINC Team, in the past if I did not notice a new project then one of my active team members would register the team name - and then they would either copy the code I use to populate the team information on the project website - or they would just PM me and then they would allow me to transfer the foundership.

Of course, nowadays there is the 60 day rule, so if a founder goes missing, then another active member can request a change of founder.

Gerasim; perhaps check with Skillz or Bok as they don't seem to have a problem getting the stats.

I think the issue is with the FB back-office scripts not collecting the correct data - but Sebastien will get it fixed if he can.

Strangely, I've tried logging on to their website but it is very slow. And I've had few tasks from them

Currently CPDN do not appear to have any tasks (see below) but I will monitor what happens over the next week or so. I do not mind adding them to the Marathon, but clearly it is not suitable for a Sprint.

I tend to use this website which shows which projects have available tasks:

It is indeed strange that you have problems with the SPT site as it has almost always been fine for me except for once a day when they seem to do some sort of back-up maybe which lasts maybe 20 - 30 mins.

I wouldn't depend on Boks page for WU info as an example it currently shows Denis and SiDock and RakeSearch as down with no work available when they are all up with lots of work.

I hope Sebastien can get the the problem with Gerasim fixed soon.

Thanks for keeping this going,

HI

The issue with Gerasim project has been fixed and the stats are now being collected and displayed on the FB website.
