malariacontrol.net: Why there are no work units at the moment

Dear malariacontrol.net community, Apologies for not responding sooner to the lack of work-units for malariacontrol.net. We had some technical problems with our attempts to fit improved models of malaria dynamics to field data. This meant that we had to close down the generation of new work units. We hoped that this would be a very short term problem, but over Christmas and the New Year, it was difficult to assess exactly what was going on. Unfortunately we are now faced with the challenge that for a variety of personal reasons the team members able to address these problems are currently not available, and we don’t have any spare funding that we can allocate to hiring anyone new. We are now almost at the 10th anniversary of malariacontrol.net and we are really hoping to keep this going, but it will probably be another month or two before we can get the system up again. Malariacontrol.net has now been going for ten years, and your contributions to this over the years have been really useful- (take a look at https://github.com/SwissTPH/openmalaria/wiki ). Instead of this apology, we would really like to be sending you all a big thank you!
