The Boinc program ...

... just has some issues that the
programmers are working on so the 5 million registered Seti users
won't have to face when the program goes "live".

Ummm, I was one of those 5 million. You raised some questions. Will the
classic SETI users be transported over to BOINC? If so, will our stats be
kept current? If so, what about my 5000+ completed wu's, can they be added
to the BOINC effort? (Don't get me wrong, the science comes first, but the
numbers are nice also. :)

You will be contacted and told when to switch over, I am not sure the
actual way of telling is finalised yet. No the stats will not carry
over, different project different way of keeping stats. The "powers
that be" are deciding how to reward people for putting time in on Seti
Classic, they are thinking currently of putting a line in your
personal stats that reflects the different ways you have helped the
projects. No decisions have been made on how or even whether to do
this yet.
