AFRICA@home is a website for volunteer computing projects which allow your computer to contribute to African humanitarian causes.

There is a huge potential for volunteer computing to help solve pressing health and environmental problems facing the developing world.

AFRICA@home addresses these problems by providing a common framework for volunteer computing projects that focus on African needs.

An important goal of AFRICA@home is to involve African students and African universities in the development and running of these volunteer computing projects.

The first application being developed for AFRICA@home is called MalariaControl.net. This application models the way malaria spreads in Africa and the potential impact that new anti-malarial drugs may have on the region.

I've never really thought of Africa as being "on the Web." Good for them!

Sounds like an interesting project.

Looks like we need a Free-DC team created.

Account creation is turned on now if you're quick. I'm sure someone can create the team for you (I can't I'm afraid - got my own to do).

I couldn't get any units to download on my laptop here yesterday for some reason. Will try again today, even after suspending all other projects..

:umm: Could be your Debit for the other Projects is to high, I have a program I run to reset all the Projects to 0 Debit when I want to. It also helps to Suspend the other Projects (Which you said you did) and to set each Project to No New Work except for the 1 you want work for.

I usually can get more work for that Project when I do that ... :)
