Did such projects ever create any results or any final news?

Hi everyone,

I've been part of the distributed computing since seti@home and United Devices. Recently, I resumed my activity on worldcommunitygrid after taking a longer break.

Now I see new projects coming up and wondered: did any of the old ever produce some final results / news? I never heard from them again (United Devices and help conquer cancer is now quite a while back when it completed). When I type in such a question on google I don't get any useful results.

I do not expect results from Seti, don't get me wrong.

And MCM is still running. I was merely asking whether completed (!) projects ever returned any useful results after so many years such as the "help conquer cancer" project or United Devices back in the old days?

Of course they do. But it is very sad that you have to waste a lot of time to find them. I think that there should be simple page on WCG with list of them all...

The simple page is the 'Research' link at the top of the screen. But it doesn't list all results. I agree a total list of publications would be nice.

How about a little stretch of the search skills... News > Research Papers

Thanks SekeRob. I was thinking more of a click than a search.
