During the evolution of BOINC there have been
|
||||||
|
three ways for users to get started
|
||||||
|
(i.e. create a project account, install BOINC,
|
||||||
|
and attach to the account):
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Ancient attach: you download the client installer from the BOINC web site.
|
||||||
|
You run it, and use the Attach Project dialog to specify a project
|
||||||
|
(by typing its URL) and create a project with email/password.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Old attach: like Ancient, but you choose the project from a menu.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* [Simple Attach](SimpleAttach): you create an account using
|
||||||
|
a form on the project website
|
||||||
|
and download the installer from the project website.
|
||||||
|
When the client runs, it's pre-attached to the account.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Simple Attach has the advantages that:
|
||||||
|
* It's simpler (fewer clicks).
|
||||||
|
* The UI is in the web, not the Manager.
|
||||||
|
Projects can customize the UI.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To use Simple Attach, a project must:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Upgrade their server software
|
||||||
|
(just the web software, if they want).
|
||||||
|
* Make a minor modification to the home page (index.php).
|
||||||
|
Namely: make a Join button that links to signup.php.
