Thanks for clarifying

I, too, am also happy that the entire project hasn't ground to a halt (yet), although it would be nice to hear from the scientists involved with this project every now and again (yes, I know they're in Japan, but translation software is now pretty reasonable). After all, I for one, don't wish it to end up in a situation similar to HCMD2, where it's ground to an entire halt - through an issue which we were led to believe wouldn't be able to be looked into until after the summer holidays in France. We're now half way through October, and still haven't heard anything official...

Edit: After doing some investigatory work through the Posts by Science Project Representatives thread, I've found the following;

•Help Fight Childhood Cancer
   ◦Akira Nakagawara MD, PhD, primary investigator, Chiba Cancer Center Research Institute
      post count = 3, last = Jun 10, 2010.


•Help Cure Muscular Dystrophy
   ◦Dr. Alessandra Carbone, primary investigator, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, Paris.
      Post Count: 16, last = Aug 14, 2011.

   ◦Sophie Sacquin-Mora, chofie, scientist, Institut de Biologie Physico-Chimique, Paris.
      Post Count: 8, last = Nov 25, 2010.

   ◦Michael Heymann, gemineo, scientist
      Post Count = 25, last = Oct 4, 2011.
         It appears from this last post, that he's now no longer directly involved with HCMD2.

   ◦Nicolas Bard, Nico_B, scientist
      Post Count = 9, last = Feb 27, 2010

This, to me, doesn't look that well represented, when other scientists (CEP2 & FA@H to name but two), do manage to keep us informed as to what's going on. After all, it only takes a few moments during a brief bit of 'downtime' to post a comment on this forum.

Edit 2: Corrected the country that they're based in.

Yesterday had a reported ~23 CPU years, which on a normal production ~55 gives a good indication how much still spilled over into the multi / all project crunching pool.

I have not heard anything. If it involves spending money, there may be a lot of administrative oversight.

This problem has been resolved on the Chiba server although there is still a backlog of results. Once this backlog has been reduced, the feeder priority will be returned to it's original level.
