New York Times, today, May 14, 2008
----------------------------------------Steve Lohr http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/05/14/join-the-hunt-for-super-rice/ Finally, a journalist who has the sense when writing about a project to mention WCG, and BOINC (well, not BOINC, but SETI, almost as good). Check it out, paste in only through .com and scroll down. >>RSM |

Hey, that's cool.
----------------------------------------I have RSS feeds from all of the projects in which I participate, and I check them twice a day. This was not in the feed for WCG. Actually, it is true that most or all projects have feeds, but sadly, they are little used. BOINC has a feed, and any news item on their web site gets put into the feed, but that's about it. Anyway, you guys do great work, the forums are so very helpful. >>RSM |

I get an RSS feed from WCG, but not from any given project. I see that Rice has an RSS button, and maybe if I had THAT feed, I would have seen the notice.
----------------------------------------The new project I knew about because I walked past my computer and saw an unknown strange and beautiful screen saver. RSS is great; but it is easy to get burried in it. Now, as we speak, I just added the feed for Rice. My post above is in in the feed, but not the notice of the NYT article. This is a common problem in many areas, not just here. So, I am pointing it out hopefully so that later terrific news gets to the feed. Thanks for your help. >>RSM |

That's why.... it's a problem everywhere except here, but the use of it is sparse:

I'd like to see my statistics in my feed reader. However, my username ("Alex Supertramp") has a space, and I couldn't get the feed for this username. I tried to substitute XYZ (in http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/rss?feed=member&userName=XYZ) by "alexsupertramp" and "alex_supertramp", but I got an error message. Any idea of how to solve it? BTW, when I'm in my statistics page and I click on the RSS button of my browser (Firefox), I can get the general stats or the general news. Maybe the system (I mean, the WCG's website) could be changed so that when a member is seeing his stats page, the feed button would lead him to his own stats feed. I think it would be much more coerent. Soltanto una cosa di più, una curiosità: Lei è italiano? Grazie mille |

Alessandro,
----------------------------------------The FAQ was amended to explain that each space in a member name needs replacement with %20 The feed suggestion will be passed on, though I'm not sure if it's possible. There are lots of changes on the program to be achieved in the next 7 months. ciao PS: I'm not a 'Lei'.... much to formal like in German 'Sie' il mio passaporto è pubblicato da Roma
