Falconet: I'll repeat my question from February: Will our streaks be preserved? Back then, knreed said that they would. And I believe this has since been mentioned again. Indeed. This link to a post by Cyclops states: "Streaks are preserved in our database", adding "but will be visible on the forum once BOINC restarts." That would be interesting: 'they will be visible on the forum'. I mean, is this really going to happen? Not that I don't want it, but I haven't seen it before on the forum. Would Cyclops care to comment on this? Yeah, Ralf, I know you read this and also that your reply to that post by Cyclops was That "Streak" stat is pretty much useless anyway, it would be a continuous counter for everyone but some rare occasional crunchers... - no need to repeat that. Hi Robokapp, Falconet and adriverhoef, we have preserved the information about streaks from before the long pause in the spring and have all information about when workunits have been returned since we restarted. We will still be extending streaks as described previously and will be able to resume the normal calculation of streaks after a grace period once we commission the additional BOINC backend servers that are currently waiting on maintenance to a switch in the data center. I hope this answers your question, we will likely elaborate on this in a future update article. |

Re: the pending maintenance to a switch in the data center:
Has that group provided a TENTATIVE timeline on when that might occur? I suspect it may well happen during low traffic times. But, I would be curious to know the answer (if it can be shared) I appreciate your updates! Thanks. |

great update Cyclops!
Good to hear what is happening and planned to happen even if it is way slower than all of us rabid volunteers would like. At least progress is being made and that is the important bit. |

Thanks for the update, Cyclops.
----------------------------------------I still don't really think WCG has a dedicated IT team, it seems. Isn't Krembil the largest university-based research institute in North America? I'm just completely confused why it seems like there's not an actual IT team at Krembil that runs WCG. It almost seems like Jurisica Lab runs WCG 100% and that Krembil hasn't allocated dedicated IT resources to Jurisica Lab's WCG.

Hello Cyclops:
----------------------------------------My comments and suggestions for the Contributions Page are: 1. Less white space. The page has the information spread out so much and requires so much scrolling. I think this makes it harder to read. 2. Add pop-up info boxes to the little ribbon and percentage symbols that are at the bottom of some of the info graphics explaining what they mean and how they are calculated. 3. Make each section, such as the streaks, collapsible with +/- symbols, and remember that when the page is next opened. 4. Top Badges doesn't seem to show the top badges. I expected the badges with the largest times to be first. 5. Indicate on My Activity over Time if the date is based on return date or validation date. Maybe the user could choose which. Cheers |

6: make it so users can download what they need in their own script (not only accessible via javascript) If I have understood what you are asking, it is somewhat hacky, but users can actually do this part already :) If you look at the network resources that the Contributions page loads in, you can see the API request that it makes underneath. F.ex the Contributions Summary by default requests `https://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/api/v3/ms/...mit=180&pageNumber=1`, but you can modify the parameters & resend to fetch more (or less) data. The detailed History page uses the same API underneath and can be similarly queried as desired. This should let you pull whatever data you want & then analyse it offline as you see fit.

A typical line reads line: {"runtimeInSeconds":12770433,"points":528725,"results":832,"date":"2021-10-25"},{"runtimeInSeconds":12542591,"points":498438,"results":800,"date":"2021-10-24"}, A quick check did not reveal any device-data, so I can't see how my devices perform relative to one another. Also, I can't see which project gave me those points, so I can't monitor if some projects give more or fewer points for my devices. [Edit 1 times, last edit by thunder7 at Sep 17, 2022 12:26:15 PM] |
