You don't get credit for a Workunit until someone else has also crunched the same one and the Results from both compare favorably. From the "your account" page you should be able to look at lists of "your computers" and your "Tasks" (sometimes called Results), and from the list of tasks you should be able to find the associated Workunits. (A Workunit is sent out as duplicated Tasks to several computers. This is the redundancy used because of the potential for abuse or errors.)

And then for each Workunit you can see the status of the other Tasks for that WU. (You'll see people in the forums refer to that other Task as your "wingman" :-)


So how would an "MHVLUG" group for projects work?  Would setting this up
necessitate making an "MHVLUG" group for each individual project that BOINC
supports?

One way would be for someone to create a Team on each of the several projects we are most interested in.

But there is also a mechanism for creating BOINC-Wide teams, and that
would be the easiest.  See http://boinc.berkeley.edu/teams/
