I just noticed the project universe@home in the lists and it looks like we don't have a team setup there, and also there are not many crunchers over there with a good amount of work on the server to do:
 
Tasks ready to send: 119,510
 
Tasks in progress: 4,910
 
Oh DC Captains! :P
 
Just burned through a couple WU's.. Very quick project times, ~30 minutes each, and Estimated task size 13k GFLOPs.

    It seems like they are just starting out but we should definitely get a team setup!  I signed up and ran a task..took about 22 mins on my 3930k.  It looks like the project is trying to create a database with the history and future of stars showing their properties and interactions.

    I'll have to do this from home... give me about 6 hours and I should have a team set up.  Getting timeouts from our crappy connection here at work.

    It seems like they are just starting out..

     
    It sure does, it's not even showing up in the BAM project status list on the left side of the screen. I just went back and it's there, strange.. Anyway it says they started in July and as a beta, and then said they went public on boinc later that month.. weird it hasn't been on anyone's radar if that's true..
     
    And it looks like it's a massively up-scaled version of milkyway@home (in its function). That's a huge project if it keeps up, it does say test project but I can't remember if it was still beta or not, I think that might just be the name they went with. Hopefully it gets some attention and we see some results!
     
    lol.. According to BAM - Total number of users: 539

    Team should be created.  Let me know via PM if I screwed up!  Thanks.
