I thought it was supposed to be last month....

It appears no one wants to respond to you, and that is probably because no one can answer your question. There is no official date set, even though there have been steps taken to wind down "Classic", but non of the developers (to my knowledge) have even fixed a target date.

It is a shame nobody gives even a rough estimate. Though seti@home deserves great credit for starting both public distributed computing and BOINC, I am a little dissapointed that the project seems stuck looking at the same data in the same way from the same telescope. Keeping the seti classic seems a waste of resources. At some point IMHO they should concentrate on transfering the active participants and not worry about however many million signed on for a few work units or less. I was considering leaving seti, but decided to cut my participation from 100 to 50. That way I can still make the deadline while giving my computing time to projects I believe are more into exploring new territory. Seti could explore new territory with another telescope or looking at other frequencies. I deeply appreciate seti helping BOINC accomodate new projects, however seti itself seems to be stuck. While I am not an expert, I do not understand why seti can't migrate in over a year during which time other new projects can come on line using BOINC.

I think the reason that they have not advised anyone as of yet, to the closing of classic, is that they have been working pretty diligently in overcoming the obstacles with Boinc. Trying to make the versions flow as easy as possible for all present and future users. A lot of changes implemented were "good" ideas in theory but proved otherwise. There are a lot of the volunteers and Developers working towards "The Ultimate Platform", that will eventually prove to be as easy to run as Classic has been, but on a much larger scale. Many projects are still getting "used to" the platform, and are implementing changes on their own projects to get ready for the onslaught of new users when Classic closes.
Of course this IMHO.

Very Respectfully,

It's ok if it runs another 2 weeks then I will break through 16,000 wu with the last computer that I have on Classic.
