I joined the project because Dr. Pamela Gay mentioned it on the wonderful Astronomy Cast podcast. I'm very happy to donate the idle time of my computer CPU to assist in the advancement of science.
The GUI of the project webpage makes me chuckle appreciatively. It was clearly designed by computer scientists and not web designers. The site is difficult to navigate, infrequently updated, and thereby may be at least uninviting if not downright intimidating to the curious general public.
Creating a more user friendly environment may be worthy of some thought. It may increase overall CPU participation from a larger audience.
