You're welcome! :) I also got a lot of help in here, so I try to return it
if I can :).
I have some ideas, so if you're interested I would like to present it to
you. I made some posters that explain some of them :)

Ah, okay. That's quite some time. I do Constellation as a young academics
project at my university and I also spend this amount of time per week for
it and the application I'm currently coding.
And when we started with Constellation it took about 6 months from idea to
public start.

Yeah for sure, when it's a study project of your courses.
But with Data Mining, Prallel Computing and Cloud Computing you describe
"methods" and you need those for your task. Because you need a numerical
problem, model it, code it and THEN prepare this application to be able to
us those methods. Like my TrackJack app for Constellation. I can divide the
combined field of task into separated and independently processable
workunits. And these WUs are used with the app within the DC environment of
BOINC.
So you still need to have an objective for your app doing the computation.
And it should be a useful objective. For example the example app for BOINC
is an app that changes the letters of in a txtfile from small to capital
letters. And that's not really worth massive computing time :). So you need
to think which numerical problem you want to solve. then it's just a matter
for coding, be it for DC or even combined for multicore and gpu parallel
computing.
But it still needs time and I don't know how much of you will work on it.
At least you all can't administrate the boinc server :).

yeah, would like to read you again and what will be the objective of your
app :).

You're welcome. Bye!
