do we have a rough idea which month we can expect to have a normal flow of WU? will we see the 1-year anniversary in February?

I'm going on a trip at the end of this month. When I return, it's either running, or I'm walking.

why do people post negative hopeless thoughts or I'm leaving threats?? I'm sorry you are feeling down about the project. We all want it back up. We are all a bit sad it isn't up yet. Threats won't change that.

I'm personally hopefully that the only obvious problem is a network issue. Network issues are solvable. I was much more worried about the database, and sending and validating issues, but all that seems to be working. I feel like they are close. I feel like they think they are close (they brought the website back up).

It is not just you! Some of us are getting a few Work Units but only occasionally and usually if we time an update just right for when batches are released.
Keep in mind that Krembil is only sending small batches for end-user testing. See recent threads started by Cyclops their new Communications Intern (who has been thrown in at the deep end too late in a difficult project!) or updates from Crunchers such as Grumpy Swede or Unixchick for a better view on where we are.
We are all hoping the networking issues are the final major hurdle but full service will happen when it is ready and ll bugs are ironed out.
Keep the faith!

The last few batches of work I downloaded have executed successfully. Previously, half the ARP I got failed, but they are OK now. I'll be glad when things are fully working, but short runs suit this heatwave :)
