・Q2の癌対策プロジェクトのくだりについては、「チームメンバーの中には、身内や知人を癌で亡くした人も多い」と いう記述を是非とも入れてほしい。 Team 2chが総体として医療系プロジェクトにこだわる理由、また各メンバーがBOINCをクランチし続けている理由として 決して外せない強力な動機だと思うから。
>>174-177,192 Q1 Team 2ch is formed by the thousands of member who frequently access to the largest Internet forum in Japan, “2channel” (2ちゃんねる, www.2ch.net/ or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2channel ). There are over several hundreds of sub-forums called “board” covering specific genres, and hundreds of thread are posted for each board and being discussed. We have variety of members join in the team; each 2channel users has his/her own interests, and there weren’t anything we have in common within the members besides the fact that we all access 2ch.net. Since each of us has different objectives for BOINC/WCG as well, we cannot really answer why each of us runs BOINC programs and do the grid computing. However, one thing we could really say for sure, is that we join Team 2ch for a single motto: “For the smile we haven’t seen yet.”
Q2 Formerly some of us worked (and still work) at different grid-computing projects. Grid.org, in particular, was working for the project to help conquering cancer, which is one of the top causes of death in Japan. There are a lot of people in Japan who lost their relatives and friends by cancer. This may explain the reason why we’re becoming united. This project was very popular all over Team 2ch, and we kept holding the title of being the largest team for the credits earned there. However, as some of you may know, grid.org ended its research 2 years ago (in April 2007). We chose World Community Grid as our next field to stay focusing on; where several “medical” researches are being operated in distributed-computation just like grid.org. Here, our rival team Easynews since grid.org, was holding the #1 team title in WCG. We also noticed that there are several different projects working at the same time, in which most of them were pretty far, far away from their completion. Thanks to the website language localized in Japanese, its easy process in order to install applications, and the stability of core client, we currently have over 9,500 members crunching the works.
