I'm Ed Moran, living in Bellingham, WA after 35 years in San Jose. I've been crunching since the beginning, and now that I have lots of free time I've been looking deeper into Boinc. While I'm learning, I'm putting together a Boinc beginner's portal-directory site, [http://boinc.info boinc.info], the project list is live if you'd like to take a peek.

I am new to mediawiki, so please bear with me as I learn the ropes.. I'm doing my learning-by-undoing  in the misc-general section.
 
 
 
 
 
'''What I'm doing:'''
 
 
 
Paused - Waiting for replies on to-do page, generally regrouping, restart on June 1st.
 
 
 
 
 
'''First-pass cleanup'''
 
 
 
Goal:  Passable 'go-live' quality, note any pages needing revisits
 
 
 
* '''copy links and images''' - Open the [http://boincfaq.mundayweb.com/ original boinc], compare the two entries and rebuild links and insert images.
 
* '''basic formatting''' - rebuild lists as '*' (hint: paste from bottom up), add cleanup breaks, strong, etc., passable enough to go live.  This is formatting only - content is unchanged.
 
* '''test links''' - broken links list on to-do page  making a list.
 
* '''to-do''' -  add link to-do page for revisits - formatting jobs, old tables, etc.
 
* ''' notes''' - open the page's discussion, leave any notes and a 4-tilde tag for timestamp
 
 
 
 
 
'''Progress:'''
 
 
 
:Miscellaneous
 
::General: Done.
 
::How-to:  Working on 1st ~20, paused
 
 
 
 
 
'''Notes'''
 
Finished the first section of Miscellaneous and started the second, now I'm stopped for a bit to wait a bit for things to settle. I'll be going back over my work to catch up on loose ends now that the task is in better focus. So far, I've found:
 
 
 
Lists of steps: All the breaks have been removed, resulting in a hairy ball of concatenated phrases. Hmf. It's a paste-fest of <cr>-*-space, it's quickest if you start from the bottom.  Other breaks have disappeared, too, I'm adding <br /> where needed.
 
 
 
404s and images: I'll be going through again (I have the orig's resources link now) and creating a list of broken items.  I'll create a list on the to-do page.
 
 
 
Big Pages: GPU v. Projects, other big tables like xml feed parameters, etc., need sexy formatting.
 
 
 
Non-Ansi: Some non-standard apostrophes and hyphens in the text converted into 3-byte utf oddities upon pasting, I replaced them with standard single quotes and hyphens.
