Website Updates for Jan 14, 2008

We have several new features and enhancements to announce as part of the latest update to the website. Read on for more details.

- There is now a Recent News section under the News and Media part of About Us that will be updated with new articles and other news about World Community Grid.

- A Marketing Toolkit section has been added to the website under About Us. There is also a link on the home page to make this section easier to find. The Marketing Toolkit contains two sub-sections:
1) A page which contains presentations, posters and other assets which can be used by partners and members to help recruiting efforts.
2) A 'World Community Grid Widget'. This widget can be configured to suit a users needs on this page. It allows the user to use 1 of 4 different World Community Grid logos, choose to show either team or member stats, choose to show runtime, points or number of results, choose to show their rank or not and choose whether or not to show the current list of active projects. The user can then take the HTML provided and add it to their website and be able to advertise World Community Grid and share their latest team or user level stats. The widget page can also be found on the left nav of the My Grid section. For more information and an example, please see the FAQ.

- Members will now be awarded a 'badge' when they have contributed 14 days of CPU time to a project. These badges will appear next to the member's name in the forums, on the member compare, member information, and My Grid pages.

- The public facing statistics pages are now available in XML format. If you are interested in learning more, please see the FAQ that explains how to get the XML version.

- The Beta Testing project status has been changed from 'Beta' to 'Intermittent'

- The forum links have been updated on the sitemap

- In the forums, the "edit" icon now has black letters instead of light gray / white letter. Hopefully this will make it clearer how members can edit their posts

- RSS feeds are now available for the forums. You can subscribe to a feed of all the forums by using the XML button that is near the top of the page on any of the pages in the Forums. You can also subscribe to a feed for an individual forums using the XML button that appears after "All threads in this forum" on the thread list page for the forum.

- A change was made to the BOINC scheduler that will attempt to link a computer with a previous registration of the same computer. This will reduce the number of duplicate device registrations created for members.

Re: Website Updates for Jan 14, 2008

We've had to temporarily remove the Create Widget pages. Any widgets that have been created and put on websites will continue to function normally.

Re: Website Updates for Jan 14, 2008

The Create Widget feature has been re-enabled, with new options including: displaying Global Statistics, removing member name from the Widget, and opting to display special announcements such as project launches and milestones. The World Community Grid Software License agreement has been updated to govern the use of the World Community Grid Widget, and a checkbox related to the updated agreement was added to Create Widget page.
