If I follow you correctly I think that already exists (chart#5) and am not sure the points per hour will actually be relevant when choosing a project as it may be more directly tied to the avg power of the machines on the project. Take CEP for example, I bet there is a higher percentage of high powered PCs returning reslts for that project, even better take a look at HCC ... lots of high powered crunchers take up new projects in a race to get gold badges.

Snow Crash, thanks for the observations. Made a bunch of changes for uniformity, most for my own convenience, under the hood so WCG can roll out 100 projects and just one project name and acronym to add to the db to get it all flowing. One chart for trial I've put on all 3 badges as they are so well suited for that... and will withdraw that if we get a half dozen per project ;o)

BBA, you really have to do you utmost in writing the most woolly and verbose description, preferably a mock-up paint job of what you want. See no different answer to what Snow Crash explained than chart 5 and no, I'm not going to sort them in order of size for that has implications for the charts themselves.

I've been struggling for longer with the idea to add these 2 lines to all the charts. The overall is pretty constant but on a project basis you get something like the BETA or CEP spaghetti but worse. As it is with the 2 Y axis, the order/stacking is limited in arrangement.

The badges I've put on all the active project charts now and experimented with some arrangements. The FAAH is different, but both allow in fact to handle 5 if it ever gets to that. Probably keep the original as it would maintain the 3 layers with 2 more additions.

I see what you are saying ... even RICE gets visually busy which might make it difficult for some to make sense of it all. Can't you get Ken to switch around the percentages on the WUs to make your charts look better :-)

I still like tFlops and average credit because they are good representatives of actual compute power. Have you considered new charts like the "Per Project" charts at the top? Although I will say I am not a big fan of the 3D layout as it can be difficult to draw the mental perspective line at the correct angle from the project closest to the front to the scale on the back. I just noticed the project order on these charts (2-5) is not always the same :-)

To balance adding new charts, are there some that could be dropped? Or maybe replace some of the cumulatives with one that has a bunch of *totals* statistics? If you want I can think about this for a coule of days and come up with something more specific on layouts and stats.

I wonder if displaying multiple badges is starting to contribute to the *busy* look? My 2 cents, in order of preference ... 1 badge, 3 badges (cascade layout), 5 badge.

If you quit encouraging my suggestions by putting examples up, maybe I will leave you alone :-)

Anything is possible with the right information and BOINCstats is already tracking it from the provided anonymous xml information. Then, knock yourself out and chart it in more appealing ways.
