For one, the reduced check in time would allow the closer watch of "suspect"
users who download a exp., run the program for a few days and then ditch out
on the project. While it is true that people may run the program for
upwards of a month or so and then ditch. The idea of having them check in
about every week AS A DEFAULT too keep tabs on them while they have their
FIRST exp. would aid in finding someone who ditches out. The process in
which we use this aid is up in the air.

I think it is realized that the 60 day value is a server parameter, and the
change in value would be only effective for FIRST TIME users. Besides, I
don't know of many users who have a problem checking in every week to keep
things moving smoothly.
