As SETI is still taking in finished units, the dealine issue is a non issue. When units are sent out there will be appropriate deadlines based on past practice. (IMHO)


... and even if they miss the deadline and still get credit, they'll probably be unhappy.

... as will those who are deferred 24 hours just before things come back up.

SETI has always said "there will be times when there is no work" and yet many expect nothing less than 100% availability.


None of the project team has specifically stated that missed deadlines will be considered / revalidated, so that is at best an "if" situation too....

That has been their practice in the past (to "extend deadlines" by not running all the processes right after an outage).

I for one, want to thank Matt and all the people at SETI who keep us running and SUN for their newest donation. SETI has been about finding what's "OUT THERE" it was in 1999 when I started and still is. We all know every "project" needs time, people and $$$$$$. We also know we do what we can based upon our resources and interest. Let's just keep it going:)
