Any BOINC developers out there? I'm currently running 5 projects and it would be nice to have a consolidated resource allocation tool, rather than going to the individual project websites to fiddle with resource allocations. Perhaps this is something that could be integrated into the BOINC GUI client itself? Maybe this is against the spirit of the BOINC project as a platform, rather than a supported tool, but it would be nice all the same. Anyone else agree?

Yeah, such a tool would be nice. A tool to set preferences to multiple sites would be useful. It would be as easy as setting itup with the Project URL and your authenticator... it could then send the necessary information to the servers via HTTP.

I'd write it in Python, if it were me. :-)
