Flavio, you are overestimating the power of our team: 800k is our good days for WCG points, not results!
But it's true that most people in our team have been waiting for this HCMD phase 2 launch for long. And several others like boulmontjj's team France are very impatient too.

Most of us follow or participate to the French Telethon every year and are willing to do anything which could help all children (and some adults too) that we see so courageous and with a bright morale on our TV screens every year.

Cheers. Jean.

Edit: Changed "moral" to "morale".
This is a faux ami for French or English speaking people: in French we have the same words but their spelling is just the opposite...

Hi everybody,
I fully understand the impatience of many WCG-members.
For those who are able to read French document, I warmly recommend the reading of the PhD-work of Raphaël Bolze (PhD2008-09.pdf, December 2009) at the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon, France.
This document shows and explains the huge work (investigation, simulation, etc.) what has to be done prior to release a grid computing project.
It is important to understand how many intensive and complex tasks must be completed for launching a new project phase.
Additionally, based on the mentioned PhD-document, the running time is estimated by 1 year and 9 months (around 458 centuries of CPU time )
This estimation relies on the experiences and the intensity of member involvement during the first HCMD phase.
If it is wished to speed up the work for HCMD2 (e.g. unil 40 weeks only), the project needs the unfailing support of 1'200'000 new WCG members (if 4 projects, additionally to HCMD2, run concurrently).
As you can see, nothing is so simple and easy as it seems to be.
Cheers,
Yves

I am sure everyone involved is working as hard as they can to get this project launched

Everything is on target for Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy.
