Hello, Last night I gave an introduction to the BOINC server to a grad student. It was nice to hear a new prospective on the system. From his prospective, it seems like BOINC client does a very good job of making it easy for the volunteer but there is room for improvement in the interface for the Scientist running the project. Are there any attempts to improve the interface so the scientist does not have to edit text files to administer the system or generate workunits using the command line? Sure its easy enough for me to write my own custom php page for certain things like generating work. I recognize having a generalized job submission interface would be challenging. I think that the software could attract many more scientists if it was less command line driven and they could get started with their research by minimizing learning curve. Could we somehow make it as easy as the cloud computing ventures?
