(moderation:
This project apparently just started and is associated with BOINC and Climate Predictor. Look at their link above and I think you'll find a wonderful, simplistic, and very well marketed 'how to' install and why guide for dummies. They picked up 3k hosts in the past 24 hours(from just 15k) according to boincstats.com
Incorporating some of their features in all of the BOINC home pages would help add new users. It's a highly inviting approach they are using on their page.
There's even a short streaming movie people can view explaining the basics. I'm not sure how viable this option is in regard to bandwith but I'd like to see it looked into....
Would appreciate some feedback from the project developers.
