Suggested Simple Main Page

From Unofficial BOINC Wiki

Welcome to the BOINC Wiki!

Here we have the best of the old site, with the addition of the ability of more Participants to contribute to the material that is published in this site.

One change is that now we will be using Wiki conventions for linking material.

Also, some material on the old site was not accessed that much and so, we will probably not be including that material within this site. In specific terms, this is the documentation of the BOINC Site Web Pages.

However, hopefully we will have new material that was never seen before with the developers adding to the content of the site.

[edit] Overview of BOINC
