I think what's taking them so long is instead of doing things one step at a time they want to start on all fronts simultaneously, including the education angle. me@rescam.org ID: 466774 ·

We'll soon be going straight onto the BOINC platform with this and at that time can release an alpha version of the Collaboratory. The beta should not be far behind with a ready number of testers interested in helping us, and we are shooting for this summer to release the beta test." me@rescam.org ID: 526167 ·

Last modified: 12 Mar 2007, 18:39:19 UTC Its been dead for 2 years, Show me the latest published update? Its dead and its a scam....... I have to agree. It needs to be investigated. Maybe one of the news shows would be interested. The "project" has been collecting donations for years now with no sign of progress. I wonder how they've gotten away with it for so long. I also have to wonder about the motives of people who unconditionally promote such a project. Any bets on when they'll get around to changing their alpha target date to 2008 and beta date to 2009? Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws. Douglas Adams (1952 - 2001) ID: 530436 ·
