Thoughts about SETI and SETI@home
1. Any opportunity to contribute
2. I have had TREMENDOUS difficulty attaching my 8740 seti work units to BOINC - I find myself questioning the competence of the package. I had a GREAT deal of trouble with the transition of my previous workunits into BOINC.
3. The only suggestion I did have was to have SOME ability for a user / contributor to submit a question or ask for aid to resolve difficulties. It appears to be available now - but I shall observe and test this, as time sands it's way through the glass.
SETI@home and Astropulse are funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, NASA, and donations from SETI@home volunteers. AstroPulse is funded in part by the NSF through grant AST-0307956.
