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.
