Suggest cleanup in FAQ " BOINC: Results Status page"

Hi Sekerob. knr, lhardin et al
The thread BOINC: Results Status page - What does xyz status mean?, the first few lines of the post by lwarencehardin: " Re: Credit computed for Quorum 2 - FightAIDS@Home, Discovering Dengue Drugs & Help Conquer Cancer" could be a bit confusing to a first-time reader, as a result of the recent switch to Zero Redundancy for FAAH and DDDT.
Suggestions, apart from a rewrite of the whole thread by 1 person:
Heading: "Credit Calculations for Workunits having a Quorum of 2 - HCC plus some DDDT and FAAH"
Start of post:
A quorum of 2 is used for:

Normal HCC workunits
Some DDDT and FAAH workunits. These projects switched to a Zero Redundancy scheme in 2008, and normally use a quorum of 1, but a quorum of 2 is still used where extra validation is needed.

...

Hope this helps - Rick

Re: Suggest cleanup in FAQ " BOINC: Results Status page"

Thanks for the suggestions Rick,

The particular article does say in the first line

"Preface: If the Zero Redundancy projects FightAIDS@Home and Discovering Dengue Drugs - Together require a second copy for verification, the credit rule is as per this post."

And, since WCG will be moving Start Here (and Help?) to a Wiki format sometime in 2009 (present schedule), don't expect all too much rewriting but keeping the information as current as possible.

Re: Suggest cleanup in FAQ " BOINC: Results Status page"

Thanks, Rickjb.

Yes, it is awkward, the way that post has been rewritten to match the changes. I really should look at a complete rewrite.
