"We thank all the volunteers of GPUGRID who donated GPU computing time to the project." - Yes, that's you!
I think it is very nice from the Project this recognition. I also think this recognition and the badges are very good for motivating, many times with this BOINC proyects you feel you effort is worthless (sometimes keeping alive the computer crunching is bit annoying). The badges makes you feel you are a little part of it. Wish only a translation to "normal" language of the papers (just a short resume) to understand better. I feel that reading the papers might be too ambitious. And a final wish. Somebody already asked a page with the list of all publications. Many people don't read the forums ang go straight through principal pages.
