These ideas sound like a nightmare... If possible, please focus your effort on technical issues with scheduling or bugfixes and do not waste your limited time with unproductive toys...
The idea of social media isn't on the list, unless someone wants it added.
The other thing isn't on the list either, as that's something that David is now developing to make it easier for new users (and old ones) to run work on their computers. Our group doesn't have any oversight over this, I just gave it as an idea what David is working on these days. You can read all about it here and here.
Well, somebody's got to persuade the developers not to waste their time with unproductive toys...
They've always been a bit of a law unto themselves :-)

Thanks for the links. From them I got this
The volunteer population is almost entirely from a single demographic (older, IT-savvy males) and has been gradually shrinking for ~10 years.
Perhaps your group could look at that as well? Younger women are probably more family oriented at that stage in their lives and it's the devils own job to get girls interested in science at school. The shrinking in the case of Seti is partly due to nothing being found in 18 years.
Be interesting to see what feedback your group gets and what changes you can make.
Waiting for Godot & salvation :-)
Why do doctors have to practice?
You'd think they'd have got it right by now
... So you don't choose a project anymore, but you choose that you want to run Space->Search for Black Holes.
... For example to add social media inside BOINC Manager

First I'd like to thank those of you who took the time to post your grievances, feature requests and suggestions. We have quite a list already, but we'd love more. I can tell you that all of what makes it through to the list will be spoken about in detail between the group members and possibly back to you who asked about it.
Just so you know, this work group isn't some low people who were aimlessly waiting around in the lobby of some university, instead as I hinted in some posts already, these people aren't the least in BOINC, they do have something to say. They are senior project scientists and administrators, and other significant contributors.
Meet:
- Christian Beer - Einstein@Home
- David Wallom - Climateprediction.net
- Eric Korpela - Seti@Home
- Kevin Reed - IBM/World Community Grid
- Laurence Field - CERN/LHC
- Tristan Olive - Grid Republic
- David Anderson - BOINC
So yes, we're quite honored in that they asked us to gather around the table to discuss a lot of things about BOINC, and so should you. All the material Richard and I send in is talked about via email/a dedicated website. There's so much to talk about even, that some of it made it impossible for us to do all the Agenda points on the last weekly meetings. :)
Weekly we talk via teleconference with each other, which is really nice as at least that way the others can hear the urgency in my voice on anything I have to say. And that's not all just serious talk, there's a lot of humor passing by as well. Weirdly enough, sometimes these guys sound and act like humans. :-D
With that out of the way, please, continue. Give us a lot more to talk about, to decide upon, to vote on how we should change things. We're proud of you. We're BOINC, resistance is futile. :)
Thank you for the feedback. I knew that my overall opinion of your positive abilities was not misplaced.

Not at all, I have met both Eric and Richard face to face, and sat in Davids chair at the SSL. And I can confirm that fact. Let's face it, a sense of humour with BOINC is a necessary pre-requisite!
I ain't ready yet to be assimilated, but I look forward to some positive results nevertheless.
