Looks like OGR-24 Work Units are being handed out again it would be nice to finish OGR-24 off , it's been hanging around for ages :sleepy: :D

you are absolutely right, ogr-24 should have been finished ages ago (the same is valid for ogr-25). Anyway, don't expect it will be finished once this nodes are calculated! Remember Bruce Wilson's remark from 10/2002:


Status of OGR
* The OGR client has a bug which weakens the accuracy of our results.
A truncation error causes rulers with many segments to be aborted
incorrectly. We were making some good progress towards fixing this bug
and releasing new clients when we solved RC5-64. At that point, all OGR
development was put on hold in favor of RC5-72.


Because of the verification plan we are using, we do not expect to have
to discard work done with current buggy clients unless the bug affected
the results for a given stub. Our original plan was to require two
identical results for the same stub from different participants. Now we
will be revising that to say that one of the results must also come from
a "fixed" client. If the buggy client gives the same results as the
fixed client, the bug was not a factor. If the buggy client gives a
different result, then we wait for a confirmation from a different
participant using the fixed client.

Those "fixed" clients haven't reached us yet. :bang:

Just thought I'd post the official 'announcement (http://n0cgi.distributed.net/cgi/dnet-finger.cgi?user=bovine)'.
