Zooniverse:

number of volunteers until 09/16/2012: 674,505.00

I became a volunteer for the ancient lives project which I found very interesting.

Good: The layout of the page was very simple and direct and the instructions on how to use the tools are also very good and the volunteer learns them step by step.
Bad: the quality of the pictures when you zoom in wasn’t so good maybe because of the condition of the papyri and that the cannot be scanned well. Also, not all the symbols can match to the greek alphabet and how it can be used.

suggestions: maybe there can be an online collaboration between users on the same example of the papyri peace.

BOING:

82 BOINC projects with 2,459,943 users in the last 60 days.
I installed boing and started adding LHC@home but the connection with the project server was very slow.
