Just a thought - I think "HELP CURE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY" needs to be a little larger or more prominent on the WU screen (perhaps at the top in lieu of the very large "World Community Grid").
----------------------------------------It says "Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy" fairly small in the bottom right. I think it would help make it more appealing. (i.e. here at work, a user sees their screensaver and they're wondering "what is my computer working on?". There is no question with other projects like FAAH or HDC). There are quite a few users who are not tech-savvy whatsoever and never visit the forums/website - download & forget.  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 2, 2007 3:27:56 PM] |

So tell it again with a picture maybe (I like your style though to get people to set their UD profiles to HCMD to satisfy their curiousity ;)
----------------------------------------The layout from my perspective starts too look like a general purpose WCG recognizable project (FAAH & GC on BOINC have same presentation. I think it's fine WCG promotes it self in the meantime.    It's the crunch that counts.

Ohh sorry - I didn't know the BOINC ones looked like that too. I was just comparing the projects on the UD Agents (which say REALLY big "FightAIDS@Home or HELP DEFEAT CANCER):
----------------------------------------  I know it's the crunch that counts, but I think it could help increase the crunch (i.e. a download & forget user suddenly sees a "HELP CURE MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY" WU pop-up and they tell their so-and-so friend who had muscular dystrophy, etc.) I know personally here at work, I got a lot of inquiries from users after the launch of HDC (just from them viewing the screensaver). Not a big deal - just a thought.  [Edit 2 times, last edit by Former Member at Feb 2, 2007 8:11:23 PM] |
