Is there a status page on the website showing the status of the servers and giving information about the availablity of tasks? I wasn't able to find one.

I haven't had any new tasks for a while, for the first time since joining the WCG, and wanted to check what the situation was.

Re: Status page

No, WCG is not publishing work availability. The messages in the client log tell if work is available for any of the 5 projects and if not, optionally, will give alternate WCG work if the preferred project(s) is/are currently out. When there is e.g. no DDDT work, the client will show this in red print and tell if there was work for other WCG projects.

As for server status, again, WCG does not provide that information directly. Some 3rd party sites report it though like http://www.esea.dk/esea/boincschedulers.php , otherwise, again if your client has proper internet connection will do a 2 part test:

1. First if the project server is up
2. If a reference site is up.

If either of 2 fail the message log will indicate that.
