2002-02-03 Thread Anurag Garg

I think perhaps what may be needed is a new rule that users who don't complete assignments in a reasonable period of time (say 1 year?) should lose the right to the assignment, even if they do check in regularly. Does this apply to 10M assignments? As George proposed on the GIMPS forums

George, Can you clarify again what no progress is? The same person who has the exponents you mentioned also has several exponent that show up 1 iteration complete. Are you going to nuke those as well? The one group of people I'm a bit afraid for - since I have belonged to that
