That might get some Windoze adherents to take the plunge. . . .

That's a shame. It looks like I will need to mothball the android devices this year or next -- unless Fight Aids at Home comes back online.

Agreed. I hope that WCG continues to provide work for Androids--I was looking forward to putting my Android farm to work for climate science. I know that Androids provide only a small portion of the work done on WCG, especially with the recent influx of major crunching power from the crypto teams and supercomputers with spare capacity, but it is a great way to keep folks engaged and get new volunteers on board as the world increasingly moves away from home computers to mobile devices.

I would acquire Linux capability in order to participate

I think that this question is bigger than simple announces of when will start the projects.
Need very hard and serious work of tech team behind the scenes.

Climate projects have hard data variables involved and need hard computation capabilities to run in production mode. The size of changes to port it for Windows , Linux, ARM or Apple System Operations must be a challenge in each step of the work.

Maybe the tech team owuld port it to run in GPU's too (a good idea to acelerate the evolution of the projects, but it will demand much more work too...).

So, stay tuned for newss, even if it happens just in the December of this year...
