Here are some changes that comming up:

NOTE: I numbered them so if you wanted to make a remark about any of them you could use the number instead of copy&paste.

I think my favorite will be number 10. If I am reading this right you will be able to attach projects and set them to 0 resource share!!

I been told by the folks on the BOINC board that each project would have to adjust their code in order to use number 10 to allow a 0 to be entered.

Problem I see is that you may have a project (like WCG) on stand by on one PC but may want it run at 100% or 50% on another. If you are already using each location (Home, Work & School) you could have a problem.
