I don't see a big issue here. ID: 600 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Would it lead to issues on the server side when extending the deadline a few days? ID: 603 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

Would it lead to issues on the server side when extending the deadline a few days? The problem is that the project uses replication: each workunit is sent to two volunteers, and if one of them holds it, the other one will have to wait until he gets credit for it. Even if you miss deadline for some workunits, they'll just be sent to someone else. Just make sure that if you're already running a workunit, wait until it completes if you're going to switch to other projects for a few days. ID: 604 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
