First, let me say that I do spread the word, but I am not sure, whether it is easy to get new members.

This is why I think that really everything should be done to avoid people from getting frustrated and leaving Worldcommunitygrid.

The main reason for leaving might be the fact that a person given found out that his or her computer did not "make it", i.e. the first Workunit was not completed in time.

Then the person feels, "I am not good enough for Worldcommunitygrid, I wasted my computer time, electricity and so on". Logically, he or she quits Worldcommunitygrid.

In my opinion, a webpage, (not necessarily on www.worldcommunitygrid.org itself) could help.

What should such a webpage look like and how shoud it work?

The visitor of this webpage should be able to select from a list of all processors ever produced. Then he or she should be able to select, how much processor memory he or she has.
In adition, he or she should have the possibility to give the information, which operating system he or she has. In the end, he or she should have the possibility to give the information, how many minutes his or her computer is on per day.

With those informations given, the webpage should calculate, how many cobblestone operations
the computer of the given person will be able to do per day, and for which of the given projects the computer usage and type of the given person is suitable.

I do not know, whether Worldcommuitygrid has got enough information about the projects internal calculations necessary to create such a website, but it should be able to get those informations during the verification process each project has to undergo.

Important: The website should be accesible without registration, in order to avoid accusations of spying information about a persons computer configuration and computer usage.

This is the first part of my proposition.

The next part is the possiblity for users which only very little computer usage per day,
to get workunits of a special batch. Those workunits should not have a time limit at all.

Points shoud be given right after returning the result. If lateron the same workunit is done by a different computer and could not be validated for some reason, the points could be taken away from the person who has sent back a cheated result (overclocking and so on).

I think it would be good and motivating to have Workunits without time limit, taken form a special batch or special batches (in order to avoid chaos)

There should be the possiblitiy to let worldcommunitygrid know about the fact that a given person wants to get Workunits without timelimit during registration process.

If they mark the field "I use my computer only very little time or have an old computer", then they should get workunits without time limit being part of a special batch.

Thank you for reading this long text. Even if my wishes cannot become reality now, I hope that one day in the future, there will be an evalutation of all propositions and maybe mine will be taken into accout
All the best
