Dear volunteers,

in the past few days, most of you have been experiencing difficulties with the massive WU failures. This was caused by one task with 20k WUs, which was badly defined and 80% of the WUs failed. We did not spot this immediately due to a lacking functionality of our monitoring system which still needs to be adapted to BOINC workloads. The corresponding task was aborted yesterday, so the things should be back to normal. In addition, all of us have been traveling and we did not have much time to follow the message boards. We have now assigned a dedicated person who will track the issues, so we hope for a much better response time in the future.

Apologies for the issues you have been experiencing lately, and thank you for your patience and efforts to help us.
