It’s been ‘down’ for awhile now after the first ‘dodo’ positive results

I don't want to be a PITA, but it's the end of the week now. (At least the end of the work week)
Can we expect some new work soon?


We don't want tasks that will crash or give out nothing but errors, so while yes I too would love to see new tasks right now, I would RATHER wait until they are ready and tested to ensure we get tasks that are helpful to their goals.
3) Message boards : Cafe : Badge (Message 132)

I join today.

How about making a badge while we still can?

I think the badge should represent the overall achievement rate of the project rather than the merit points.

I can't draw because I have no artistic talent, but I envision surrounding a dodo with a circle, using the circle to represent the overall achievement rate, and the circle itself to have a DNA image.

By the way, please also distribute the aarch64 version of WU for macOS.

Sorry. I use Kagi Translate from Japanese to English




I agree with the idea of badges and the dodo but don't know what you mean by the circle and the 'achievement rate'. If you mean work towards the dodo then shouldn't everyone get the same thing? I think credits are an easy way to earn badges at a project and the Project could even make a badge for every animal we work on. Ideally we could even be working on several animals at once as the Project grows.
