Inclusion of Prime Sierpinski Project

[Mystwalker]

Hi all,

I propose to include the Prime Sierpinski Project to the mathematical projects.

Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/eharsh82/ (not that much info, I would prefer the forum)
Forum: http://www.mersenneforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=48
Stats page: http://www.ldausch.de/stats.html

[N.V.M.]

this project does not meet the requirements as it does not automatically create a team. please correct me if i'm wrong though.

The idea behind the criteria is also that if they are not too lax, maybe a few project developers will see it as an incentive (example: create teams by a user without admin interference) to enhance their project and make it more user friendly.

We had to draw a line and that turned out to be it :)

Well, one could argue about the precise meaning of "accept new members and teams immediately upon registration".
They are accepted immediately, so to say - but at least the forum-based team registration has to be incorporated into the stats manually. Chances are high that it will be already available then.

On the other hand, I'm currently investigating whether the team name is automatically included when using LLRnet - it definitely works with the username.

I am sorry to say that at the moment i have no real chance to make a real automatic team registration possible. The web pages have no direct connection to the database so there is no way to have a real automatic team creation where the next user can directly see the available teams and can join in.

The llrnet client has no direct way to allow entering a team.

By the rules set up for joining a team at PSP there is no problem with results not counted for the team as all points created before you join a team are registered with the team and on changing from one team to another all old points stay with the old team and upon date/time of the forum information that you changed team the newer results will be counted for the new team.

But it is not automatic :( and i fear it will not be automatic in the near future.

I am very sorry that PSP can not meet the criterias for this very good list.

We are looking into this. Our main concern is that there could be waiting times which prevent teams from entering the project stats.

If, however, a team creation request is commonly responded to in due time (say a day?) then imho it would be ok regarding that point in the requirements.

Normally i respond to all requests within a day. There are times when this is not possible due to the fact that i am out off town. That happened around <10 times this year and each time i was able to drop a note before so it was clear that there would be no response for the next days. The longest time without reaction was 7 days when i was on holiday.

Lars how would like to be in the stats but fully understands if it is not possible due to the rules of the stats page.

Nanobot will be looking to add it to the DC Vault asap.

Thanks for taking the time to participate on our forums :)

If stats in a special format make life easier for you ( for example as comma seperated text file) please give me a hind. I will the try to provide a file for you.

The current format is fine, but please let me know if you make any changes to the page format :)
