Were is the smallpox research information from begining times of WCG web pages ?
----------------------------------------Just remembered today about this mention at that times, but don't found anything more inside WCG website. Maybe I'm wrong about it, or at that time WCG just mentioned this research done by other project just like an example which produced alert/attention over more than 30 molecules, which was selected to be deep studied/tested to fight smallpox, anyway I don't remember more the exact details about it. So, what happens with this information from WCG initial page ? Anyone remember something about it ?  
Cheers ! GIB@

Hi GIBA,
Good catch. I had not noticed that it had disappeared. There was never much information. From IBM's view point, WCG was just a next step, not an alarming departure. Early in the decade, it was approached to support a Smallpox project on UD. It became a corporate sponsor. Then it was approached by the Human Proteome Folding Project seeking similar support. At this point, IBM decided to establish a more direct way to support such projects. When the WCG web site was first made. it included some of the history 'before the creation'. Hence, the mention of the Smallpox project. I guess they decided that it did not quite fit with the long list of WCG projects, at least, not without a lot of explanation of the background. Lawrence |

Thank you to clarify it.
----------------------------------------For a minute I think that I'm very wrong about it, and this mention was a gost of my mind...

Things are not always lost when changed on the internet:
http://web.archive.org/web/20041230164109/www...ase/projects_archive.html That is the info you were looking for. Now that we have our established set of projects, we no longer need to include a project that was run on grid.org as an example of the way that volunteer computing can be successful. |

Great flashback Kevin ! It's the page that I mentioned...but passed years, my memory fault a little bit with the right information on that. Unfortunatelly when I try found it I don't have luck. Just add to my WCG favourites. Thank you very very much for your return.
