Yes. We calculate the end date for each active project but will only display it if (based on current data) that date is within the next 6 months or so. I will say though that several factors and variables go into calculating the end date, some of these change from time to time. So don't be surprised to see those dates get updated as those factors change.

For more details, refer to the project timeline FAQs .

Great improvement with the new badges :)
Even the timeline is cool. *Like*

Well done WCG

I also like the composite badge idea!

I have often wondered though...why badges are runtime-based - coming to the conclusion that no matter what hardware you have you should be able to get recognized for your efforts. But that is not entirely sound either. As today you can have few or many cores even in a single PC.

This has most probably been discussed before, but isn't it "better" with badges based on points? (Or even an efficiency badge for points/runtime :) )
Perhaps one does not need to replace runtime badges, but somehow add points-earned badges. I'm just thinking, since these may vary a lot.

Perhaps then those with really fast PCs who already have milions of points on a project only have very little runtime on it. Then it would be an incentive to crunch on for more runtime. And equally, those who have slower PCs have lots of runtime (already reaching platinum badges) but having (relatively speaking) few points. Then it would be an incentive for them to keep crunching for the points.

Badges are not the main goal, but that may differ for some and they need that incentive perhaps? And the important thing is to keep those WUs getting crunched and returned back to the servers, right?

Just a thought...
