What does this mean? A lot of work for nothing?

July 28, 2004
The project is currently down. We found a bug in the scheduling code such
that returned results were not being updated in the database. We are now
running a fix script on the DB, marking each affected result as unsent so
that it will be resent. Unfortunately, credit was not given for results
affected by the bug.

Does that mean all the work I did the last week was for nothing?

VERY probably...!

Also, from what it sounds like (and I wished they would get someone to write
the news who was not so ambiguous):

any WU you sent, the data would have been cleared off the computer that did
it - so, the actual work may be lost as well as no-one's computer retains
info on the work done (ie in a back-up), so the bit about being "resent"
sounds false - more like:

"we'll have to make that WU available for download again, so it can be
crunched again and then returned again, by which time, the scheduler code
will be fixed"


Yet another big blow for BOINC.....!
