I'd just like to suggest a feature that I think would make BOINC much more user friendly. Rather than attaching a project using a project URL, provide a list of projects to chose from within the client, and allow to join with a click. I think this would be helpful for new users, particularly on the android client.

That is already implemented in Boinc Manager.

Ever been to Tools -> Add Project or account manager -> Add project?

OK, I guess I've been using boinc with bam so long I never noticed it. What prompted me to suggest this was the new android client. When I installed it, the client asked for a project URL and I didn't see anyway to sync with bam.

The Android client is a whole new beast. It lacks a lot of features that its full-blown brethren on the other platforms have as standard, mainly because of memory constraints on many of the Android devices it needs to work on.

There are only 6 projects thus far. These are easily reachable, by the way. In the BOINC GUI, tap Projects, tap Add project and you'll find the list of projects that are presently available as having applications for the Android client.

And if you want to have the bleeding edge in version, you can always join the Android testing Google group. They're testing 7.2.9 which may have Account Manager support (I'm not sure, as the change log isn't clear on this).
