Not:

Maintaining new WU production (the same stuff has been reworked for the 
last few weeks);

Communicating progress, hiccups, or anything much recently.

They are likely putting great effort into getting the successor to the 
current seti client finished and running. They've also been working on 
the reobservation WUs to great past fanfare. However, communication and 
servicing their servers has been badly neglected. A key member of 
staff/volunteer has left also.

And they've still got far more processing power than what they can 
usefully utilise.


Shame the climate prediction client is Windows only. I wonder if Wine 
could cope...?


Regards,
Martin
