Hello !
Because I only participate in stable projects, it would be nice if the projects could give Boinc Combined Statistics their project stage, so that users know if they want to participate or not.
For example, is ufluids alpha, beta, or stable ?
Thanks !

SETI@Home
ClimatePrediction.Net
Einstein@Home
Rosetta@Home
Predictor@Home
Seasonal Attribution Project
BBC Climate Change Experiment
LHC@Home
ABC@home
World Community Grid
SIMAP
SZTAKI
all consider themselves 'stable'
I would consider sztaki and predictor 'alpha tests', sap & bbc have no more work, SIMAP & LHC only rarely.
Beta test projects;
MalariaControl.net, QMC@Home, Nano-Hive@Home, Spinhenge@home, Proteins@home, RieselSieve, Rectilinear Crossing Number, Project Neuron
Alpha projects;
PrimeGrid, uFluids, TANPAKU, XtremLab, Leiden Classical, Chess960@Home, Docking@Home, BURP, HashClash, Distributed Rainbow Table Generator, vtu@home, DepSpid, RenderFarm@Home, WEP-M+2 Project, Zivis Superordenador Ciudadano, Gerasim@home, BEBEER@Home, IMP@Home, Test Project, Lattice@Home, Orbit@Home, PS3grid.
Permanent testing;
SETI@Home Beta, Rosetta@Home Alpha (RALPH), BOINC Alpha, ABC@home Beta, Pirates@Home, LHC@Home Alpha
There is a discussion on the BOINC_DEV mailing list where they are talking about defining the terms 'alpha, beta,etc' to help users decide which projects, but at the moment projects are self-designating.I personally focus on alpha (Me always lookin' for trouble) but I find the majority of tasks that hang (or crash) My machines come from minority share 'stable projects'
it all comes down to the term stable
stable = regular work ? lhc & SIMAP not stable
stable = support for all platforms ? seti has no app for 64bit linux
On each individual projects stats page on this site, there is a "production stage" line. I have updated them all to conform to the above list.
Thanks for your answers !
