smile Suggestion: Predictor of the Day

Something akin to the Predictor of the Day feature in Rosetta@home's website.

Re: Suggestion: Predictor of the Day

the only issue would be that Rosetta's is based on something tangible - the lowest energy, which user found it etc.

Yeah, would be cool - but idk how it could work here.

WCG is only an intermediary, sends work to volunteers, aggregates the returned results and then sends the completed batches or whatever blocks of results back to the scientists wherever they are on the planet, by which time, big lapse time, the data is likely already anonymized entirely and if they don't they'd probably be already at odds with e.g. EU legislation.

Re: Suggestion: Predictor of the Day

If the user opts in, I don't see any legislation issues, it's just a technical challenge.
Yes, I agree that at least some WCGrid projects could likely not have a feature like this, but I think some might, like OpenPandemics, Help Stop TB or FightAIDS@Home.

Re: Suggestion: Predictor of the Day

Let me narrow your view down to volunteers having opted in to compute for XYZ project/science, not a license to megaphone the volunteer's name around.
