Q3 We have set up the Wiki webpages spoken in our language (http://team2ch.info/) to guide the newcomers for WCG and other BOINC projects. There are some volunteers who introduced WCG and solicit to join our team by creating video clips. We’ve also built several frameworks to keep up members’ motivation: One of them to create sub-team system, where we compete against each boards within Team 2ch by joining one of the sub-team you’d like to belong with. The another is developed by our great statistician we have in Team 2ch called “Daily-Bulletin” that’ll gave us the list of the name of members, points they’ve earned, work completed and their run-time optimized for each boards. Each boards in 2channel has a thread about the grid-computation; volunteers report the Bulletin and we discuss all sorts of things everyday (these answers were also being argued, organized and translated as well). We have members who are very enthusiastic to talk about these topics, and some of us really aren’t, but we’ve reached the conclusion that being in any attitudes are totally fine.
Q4 We hope the reputation of World Community Grid will rise over Japanese community and join even more members by having the newest project from Japan (Help Fight Childhood Cancer) you’ve just launched. In fact, lots of Japanese media broadcasted about WCG HFCC project when they started. We are glad that we see the result and all the informations of the research on Japanese website. We all support the WCG projects, especially HFCC, and hope greatly to look forward for the projects to be accomplished on one day.
Q5 We were about to lost our goal with the last announcement from grid.org in 2007. World Community Grid gave us the way out to run again with your well-prepared language localization and its stabilized server operation. We would like to appreciate all the World Community Grid advisory board members and staffs for giving us to contribute for the future throughout the world.
