This section is where you can post topics related to Challenges from other websites, such as Formula-BOINC, SETI-Germany and BOINCstats, as well as project challenges such as from WCG, PrimeGrid et al.
As a Team, we really want to engage as many team members with these challenges, as this gives us a great way of attracting more members to our Team...plus we get to show our strengths as a Team by (hopefully) doing well in each one.
PS: I have moved lots of topics into this section where they are relevant...as you can see, we've always been happy to take part in Challenges...and long may that continue

I can see at least seven projects on that list that won't get a single credit during 2019!

Hi all
I've posted elsewhere on the forum (link below), the confirmed Marathon projects and the confirmed Sprint projects.
http://www.ukboincteam.org.uk/newforum/ ... =94&t=6357
Comparing with Mike's list above it seems that DrugDiscovery@home has been dropped completely.
Also: The two Marathon and Sprint lists are NOT the same as the following projects will not be included in the Sprints:
CAS@home
Gerasim
MindModeling@home beta
RNA World
I'm surprised that BURP, CSG, DENIS and XANSONS *HAVE* been included in the Sprints...as these projects have very sporadic tasks, if any at all...likewise in the case of including Wanless, as this project supports a limited range of OS with tasks, so hardly suitable for a Sprint.
regards
Tim

isn't there an announcement due about the last sprint?
I've been bunkering for a couple of days just in case.
