Hello dear experts,
thanks for bringing up this important facility again. However, I do not find an entry like "Server status" where it can be seen how much new workunits are distributed. Can you give me a hint please when we could expect such new work ? Thanks for help Jochen from Germany |

It is important to know about how long. I am running a project that has tasks that run about 30 hours each.

They haven't been the best at estimating when they will be back up. Soon is a good answer. Time to shorten the queue, but not empty it, is where I'm at.
It is going to be bumpy when they do send out WUs. They have some ready to go, but we are a rabid bunch, so there will be issues with connections, and downloads as we all fight over the pile. may the odds be ever in your favor |

Some sort of praise for finally making it here, Yeah!!
I would like to start on some crunching after all that is why we are here? Realistic start dates and no more string, please |

We appreciate your support.
We are eager to restart. We have been running Boinc with white-listed IP addresses for some time - but the system includes several layers that we are ironing out. Estimating time is tricky in this case. In the past when we felt we are very close to release - we still had found some hidden bugs in the system. Even with the web - several members have found missing images and other errors. - thank you for helping us not only to crunch science, but to make WCG better. We are a small, academic team. Growing from running MCM to running WCG is challenging - but definitely worth it. We have limited resources, both personnel and hardware. We are continuously working on expanding both, trying to find new sources of funding and support, to ensure WCG can grow, not just survive. Thank you volunteers. Without you - there is no WCG. igor |

We crunchers don't expect things to be perfect. We have been helping projects sort out bugs for years, if not decades. Just release the work and let us help you find and fix the remaining issues. Real world testing is preferable to doing it behind a firewall.

Open it up as Beta Testing.
You will get much better data faster using the wider variety of systems and configurations in the community. |
