All this computing power and I don't easily find info on what progress is being made. Surely news happens about the scientific finds from the project?

Two possibilities occur to me. The Institute for Systems Biology might make a new press release citing progress. Alternatively, the scientific papers that Baker Lab has online might get some new additions. I mention them in this post: http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=1144#5352
But I assume that it will be some time before anything turns up. Think it over -- the ISB is being inundated with results to check out. It must be like getting a fire hose suddenly turned on them. They couldn't have had a massive organization all ready to handle the analysis before there was anything to analyse. Too wasteful. They are probably just learning how to tabulate it all while trying to grow like crazy, which probably means getting support from other universities / research organzations rather than spending money on a hiring binge. The original estimate was that we would be computing for about a year. Expect the resulting database to be in use for much longer than that. |

Considering that this is a finite project, wouldn't it be possible to indicate overall progress of the computation, such as a percentage complete statistic based on the number of work units?
