Thanks
Done. Anything any of our members can do is greatly appreciated.
MEA CULPA! When I came back from my extended absence, I didn't have the time to go completely through the team thread to read what I assumed would be stale news, so I completely missed it. I'm very impressed, and I've already changed our WCG page to list Fred's page as our new official home page. Thank you, Fred. It is much more professional than the amateurish work that I've been doing. I presume that it is still a work in progress (aren't ALL webpages?), so please don't be offended when I point out that the link under "the Projects ... read more" is broken. Everything else works fine.

I plan to change my personal webpage -- http://home.alltel.net/billvelek/world-community-page.html -- to provide a link to our new home page, and I have a few other changes in mind. While your page is much more "professional" looking, I will probably continue to use my page in my personal efforts because I happen to like the video news clip, and because I've put so much work into it that I hate to throw it all away. Hey, the larger our web presence, the more effective we should be, right?
Mmmm -- sounds good, but I don't have the patience for a mead. I'm already drinking my last batches of wine that are only a couple of months old. But good luck.

Cheers.

I have just made some significant changes to my personal webpage about WCG and HomeBrewers; comments are welcome.

If any other "HomeBrewers" have a personal page that pertains to the World Community Grid, or to our team, or even to grid-computing in general, please let me know and I will add a link to my page. I will also appreciate any cross-links to my page from other members.

Thanks.

It looks most excellent. All the content is extremely valuable information. The only criticism I'm going to give is that it's kind of dense. Give it room to breathe ;-)

Thanks for linking to wcgwiki.org - it's much appreciated. Do you mind changing it to point to wcgwiki.org/ not wcgwiki.org/en/ ? People with the right language settings in their browser are automatically redirected to their own language.

Well, HomeBrewers, we just passed another milemarker and now have over 8 million points. I've been trying to recruit, but we only have two new members -- one of them my son. But I remain hopeful.

Just made a few more improvements to my web-page, including a link to a second video about WCG. Also added this link to a BOINC site with neat graphs showing just how well we've been doing.

Cheers.

Fred, thanks for all your help and hard work. I'll leave all decisions regarding our official website to you; you've done a great job so far. Regarding the videos, I happen to personally like them -- especially the one by Heather Harrison. I think that one, in particular, might help alleviate any concerns that this might be some sort of a scam; that's one o the reasons why I'm still using my site for my personal recruitment efforts.

Tonight we reached 128th place, and we should pass the next team tomorrow, and then another in probably two more days. Going is now slow because of the large gaps in points between each position. I'm still hopeful that we can make it into the top 100 before our first year anniversary, but a lot will depend on how many teams have recently passed us and how many will pass us before we reach that goal.

I've pretty much fallen flat no my face with my recent recruitment efforts -- very disappointing. We've only recruited three new members in this drive, and one of them was my son.

Cheers.
