It's been quite a while since this topic was current and we do have a lot of new members so for the benefit of those who don't yet know about the World Community Grid, here goes...

Donate the time your computer is turned on, but is idle, to projects that benefit humanity! World Community Grid provides the secure software that does it all for free, and you become part of a community that is helping to change the world. Once you install the software, you will be participating in World Community Grid. No other action must be taken; it's that simple! To learn more and join, click the link below.

World Community Grid's mission is to create the world's largest public computing grid to tackle projects that benefit humanity.

Their work has developed the technical infrastructure that serves as the grid's foundation for scientific research. Their success depends upon individuals collectively contributing their unused computer time to change the world for the better.

World Community Grid is making technology available only to public and not-for-profit organizations to use in humanitarian research that might otherwise not be completed due to the high cost of the computer infrastructure required in the absence of a public grid. As part of their commitment to advancing human welfare, all results will be in the public domain and made public to the global research community.
