But it isn't ... it is a closed source development project that publishes its source code[/quote]Actually, it is open source, in a way that comes to our advantage. The license is LGPL. If you want to add a new feature, you can write it, and send it to the devs at Berkeley. But if they don't add it, [b]you're free to make your own fork[/b] and do whatever the hell you want to with that code.You aren't a programmer? Then don't add features yourself. Get a group of programmers that *do* care for users opinions, and work independently from UCB.I would help, except for one thing. While you find things wrong with BOINC as a whole and UCB behavior etc, I keep finding more and more wrong with BOINC [i]code and internal implementation[/i]. So I'd rather start from scratch than modify [b]that[/b] existing code...
