Hi, Dear fellow contributor to science!
In order to reach the Gridrepublic goal to make all with a computer join, then you'll have to make it more interesting and somewhat competitive!
A way to do this might be to compare your personal contributions with others. There are a lot of applications out there (for BOINC) rating your personal stats and placeing them on a position-list. It schould be able to do in this app as well, or ...?
To make it even more interesting you could make some "Certificates" for some G-hour goals. Like SETI - only you can do it better!
Tell me what you think, thanx :-)
The good news and the bad news is that we got a little sidetracked into the area of social media, launching Progress Thru Processors on Facebook. And this has taken up a lot of our development bandwidth. As has Charity Engine.
At GR, the next significant development milestone is a long-in-the-works update of the site infrastructure -- we're converting everything to Drupal. (*Yes, this has been the aspiration for a silly long time: but should be soon: seriously this time.) This improved instrstructure will make lots of stuff easier to impliment. But even after that -- misc competitive points schemes are going to take a bit, given our resources. (*Anyone want to find a grant for this purpse?)
