We are slowing down the rice project because the researchers are struggling to get enough disk space to hold all of the results. We have done this so our World Community Grid disks do not fill up too fast as well until the results can be sent to the researchers. If we get too tight on disk space, we may need to pause the rice project for some period of time. On the positive side, members have done an awesome job in contributing to this project. We thank you for that!
