Post:
Can you imagine that the software implementation would benefit from the design adjustment to define such a variable only once and reference the corresponding object at the other source code places?


No, I can't because it won't fix any issue and since we have no performance issues as well - there is no reason to change the current behavior and do a redesign.

Post:
The class “RPC” provides two member functions which were designed in the way that status codes are returned as integral values.
How do you think about the application of C++ exceptions instead?


No. This will require a major code redesign without any real benefit. But instead it will add one hidden issue: if the function returns error, but this is not a critical error, and the application execution could continue, it's safe to ignore such an error codes, but if the function will throw an exception instead - you have to catch it, otherwise if there will be nobody who catches this exception - application will just crush. We definitely don't want to have this.

Would you become interested to discuss the software behaviour and implementation details any more also by the means of analysis tools like cwrap?


No

You could made it simple to use without all of the problems it has now


Do you have an exact idea or example how it could be made simple and without all these problems?

@JeromeC,

I'm not from Acoustics@Home team. I just a member of some Russian-language forums where I got this information about issues with University Data Center.
So I understand you but personally I can do nothing in this situation, just keep you updated here.

Thanks

There is some issues with University Data Center. Currently unknown how long it will take to restore availability of the server. No worries, no data was lost. Just server of this project and probably some others that are hosted in the same University Data Center.
Thank you for understanding

Hello,

I think this page will be a good start point: https://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ProjectMain

Does this version work with BOINCTasks or are we still limited to NativeBOINC if we want to use BOINCTasks?

Situation is still the same: there is no support of remote monitoring for BOINC Android client. Please use this thread for further updates

Hello Richard and Jord,

I am a contributor (not so active because of lack of time). I do this because I'm really interested in this project and the whole idea of volunteer contributions.

The main thing that I'd like to be changed is the overall development process. First of all it's very hard to understand the release process. There are 317 open issues. And as a developer how can I understand which issue I should fix first? Yes, I can fix any issue but how I can be sure that my fixes will be ever released? I had this situation: fixes I made about three years ago were merged into release branch in two years. I think such process will not involve new developers to contribute to this project. As a developer I want to know that my work is useful and will be not forgotten.
Also as a further growth of the BOINC I would like to see more supported platforms (PlayStation, XBox...).

Thank you
