The flow of work on this project has slowly diminished to less than 1% of what it had been shortly after the project started. Back in November we were told "We hope to have a longer update for you after the Christmas break..." by the researchers (link). We have been patiently waiting and it is a bit past that time frame now. Although the last word from the researchers was "Until then, thanks and keep crunching!'", there is now virtually nothing to crunch. A reasonable person might be wondering if this project has died off.

Limited WUs? Why I got one Nov 25th, then another on Dec 20th, another on Jan 6th, one on Jan 20th, and one just the other day, Feb 13. Why at this rate I should get my Silver badge by next Christmas!

A reasonable person might be wondering if this project has died off. Yes, it's my fault.  By hook or by crook I was inching my way to a 5 year badge and as I passed the 100 days to go mark there was evidently too great a chance of me actually getting the badge (and quitting the project) so they pulled the plug on it....    |

Well according to https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/stat/viewP...amp;numRecordsPerPage=365 some recent days are not even hitting a triple digit value on the 'Results Returned' stat. That does strike me as concerning.

Greetings,
We have recently had a call with the researchers. There were results that were getting stuck on the grid and not sending back due to Errors. We have a plan going forward on how to address these sorts of errors and hope to get the flow back up to normal. Thanks, -Uplinger |

Hmmm. Which normal? Hundreds of tasks or thousands? We'll see soon, won't we.

It is currently going through the review and revision phases. We will post it in the News section, and a link to it in the HSTB forum, as soon as it is ready. Thanks, ErikaT |

I hope the fix brings the flow of work up to a level that can satisfy all. Thanks Keith, thanks Erika. Cheers [Edit 1 times, last edit by NixChix at Feb 16, 2017 5:42:28 AM] |

I have not got any work for weeks, my results is only 23 since this project started and I have had this as priority because of history of TB. Hope we will get more tasks.
