A desktop picture that incorporated your live stats would be nice to see.

Agree, but I'm just have a webhotel, not the skills to produce it....:)
----------------------------------------If you are producing something in the gadgets category, I will be happy to publish it.... NB It is a Vista widget on the main page, maybe that will help you? ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by kskjold at Jan 24, 2010 12:23:22 PM] |

Dedicated a whole post to a collection of windows gadgets that one can plant in the FFX browser or on the windows desktop... they still work all the way through W7 and FFX 3.6 RTM. Think I'll put a link on the FAQ index as things are so terribly difficult to find with our lousy forum search engine [not me ;>)]

There are several places here in the US that will imprint various items with the decal of your choice (mostly done from digital pictures). I'd do a T-shirt for WCG, but there is nothing that I can find that would make a suitable one.
----------------------------------------Think it is about time for another contest to develop something that could be used in this way for you might say hard copy advertisment on a personal level. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jan 24, 2010 1:53:49 PM] |

I think World Community Grid is growing, but it have much more potential. Here I things that hamper it and my humble ideas on improving it:
1. When passing WCG invitation link - people usually do not understand what it is, what advantages it got, are afraid of viruses. So the team join page should state in one lines / what it is, that it is safe, that they only have to install it. 2. Registration required - make anonymous default user, so that if you get to WCG, the easiest way to join would be to just install application and forget it. After lets say 1 week it could do popup asking nicely to register to have your own points/results collected. 3. WCG application should have some added value. Show the map with all members and allow to send them message. 4. Possibly WCG could make some lottery system for people who joined the project. Possibly additional one for people with better rankings to motivate everybody. |

Yes, i agree strongly with item number three from your list.
There should be an option to create a user profile and make it indeed OPTIONAL lol. Also I would like the sending of packets to be non encrypted as it irks me when i have to update the certificates on my machines!! |

[TOT]How off topic can it get. Never heard of someone having to renew certificates to the point that it irks. Never had to do this in the 4.5 years that I've been crunching for WCG. Please contact support so they can work with you to resolve this.[/TOT]

Sorry about off topic post
![]() Its easily fixed when I do a custom windows update or update them in linux. Back on topic: I can see that people want the shirts and the coffee mug but i still see that it wont have a major impact unless lots of people make an effort and wear the shirts. we ALL have to go out and actively (knock on peoples doors i think) seek new members. |

Domain security templates irk me in different ways. Thats why I steer clear from using such security overkill / time-kill-ware
