new short term third target

Post by **UBT - Mikee** » Mon Jul 03, 2006 7:34 am

(I've sent this somewhere after amending it - god knows where it went though! I don't have time to redo it so it'll have to go as it was!)

Now that we've succeeded in getting one of our targets we're now down to 2 long term ones. I was thinking that we should have a new short term third target, with good options for the next cruchathon.

Maybe a poll for the ones marked 'good'?

Here's my thoughts on the projects we participate in and which I think may be a good/poor option.

Your thoughts/opinions/amendments?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BBC Climate Change - ranking 16 - poor - long term project that requires long term, consistant computer usage.

All projects get listed in a poll for crunchathons anyway, so all avenues are always covered

Edit:

XtremLab - Ranking 12 - Good - we've got good potential to rise high in the world rankings, unfortunately everyone is listed as 'international so no official UK ranking, work is consistent. Account creation is enabled.

Where have you got your info for on that one

We are number 2 in the UK Rankings

Edit2:

World Community Grid - Ranking 112 - Good - we've got good potential to rise high in the world rankings, we're 1st in the UK, work is consistent. Account creation is enabled.

Where has 1st come from in the UK

I count 4 known UK teams above us there may be more seen as though WCG does not export which country a team comes from

As I said at the top

(I've sent this somewhere after amending it - god knows where it went though! I don't have time to redo it so it'll have to go as it was!)

Crunchathons were mentioned as a passing phrase, I'm more interested in getting a new short term 3rd target to encourage new users.
