Good day, fellow volunteers,

While observing the flow of tasks on my devices I could work out a pattern describing the current progress of SCC1.

The workunits are distributed from a range of batches and each batch contains 100,000 workunits, numbered from 0000 to 99999. The distribution of each batch is chronologically fairly consistent, starting at 0000 and ending at 99999.

The batches are numbered with 7 digits, of which the first three digits are a zero at the moment. The latest release of batches started on 21-04-2023 with batch 4081 (prefixed with 3 zeroes), soon followed by batches 4069 and 4071 on 22-04-2023.

How could I represent the progress of SCC1?, I was thinking. Maybe I could divide a batch into 10 parts of 10% per batch, and as soon as a task is validated you can look at the Sent time(*1) (serverwise in UTC), so that you will have the exact day of the distribution of the first task (in a 10% part). Also, you will never know when a 10% part is complete, but you can be sure that a 10% part has started when a task is part of it. Since you will never be sure when the 100% has been reached, when all tasks have been sent, you can only tell if a 10% part has started; and with sufficient supply you can also tell when it has started. And my thoughts continued. So, you can indicate the first 10% part by ">0%", the second 10% part by ">10%", the third 10% part by ">20%", etc., and to indicate the date I would only need 6 digits: the last two digits of the year, two digits for the numerical month (01 = January) and two digits for the day of the month. So, in order to be able to easily sort by date, 21-04-2023 would be represented as "230421".

The current batches can then be shown as follows:

SCC1	>0%	>10%	>20%	>30%	>40%	>50%	>60%	>70%	>80%	>90%

I have placed a complete table for the current progress of SCC1 on this page that is updated each hour (if there is a change).

With this information you can track the progress of SCC1 and easily see 'where we are'.
