The project is still in a test phase if that's what you mean. The work units are "real", but the results won't be used in production since they aren't necessarily reliable.

The work you have been doing

The work you have been doing has been most useful to help us debug the applications and develop the 'back end' components. We are just now transitioning to work units analyzing the most recent and sensitive data from the LIGO/GEO S3 data run. That's when the search becomes scientifically more interesting.
