Folding Forum

I ran across this page http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Maps again and noticed that it is about three years old. I looked at about a year ago and I remember that even then the more specific maps weren't displaying. Of course, I understand that the Pande Group has more important things to do than put little orange dots on a map, but perhaps the non-displaying maps could be removed or something. Perhaps they will take care of this page in the overhaul.

Also, the "AD and its connections to PD" link no longer works. I wish it did though! Link located here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-Diseases#ntoc13

EDIT: on the same page, "Alpha-synuclein" link no longer works, which is also too bad. Suggest linking to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha-synuclein

Hopefully these last couple changes can be taken care of as well. Also, BOINC has a total of 104 scientific publications. Fortunately the "Currently, the FAH project has published more papers than all of the other major distributed computing projects combined" statement on the Main FAQ still holds true as BOINC has lots of tiny projects, as well as some good sized ones. I bring this up only because I recently had to revert someone who briefly took the statement out of the F@h Wikipedia article, and I had to go total all the BOINC papers myself. http://boinc.berkeley.edu/wiki/Publicat ... C_projects

The person who pulled the statement is clearly a doinc supporter when you look at their edit history on wp (only edits 1 doinc page).

And even if you want to count all the little papers, you wouldn't remove the whole statement, but change it slightly.

Currently, the FAH project has published almost as papers (95) as all of the dozens of other distributed computing projects combined (104).

Someone should go correct that David P Anderson page that calls doinc a "project" when it clearly is not a project. doinc is a software system for creating projects. It is not, in itself, a DC project.

Fixed.

On the papers page, paper number 55 ("N-Body simulation on GPUs") has a pretty bad typo in its short summary.

EDIT: another thing: paper 46's summary spells "protein" wrong

Fixed, plus a half dozen or so more.

Thanks. There were indeed a number of them!

Oh, and one more thing: Paper 39 could link to http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/ar ... 3605016736
Its title is actually "Kinetic Computational Alanine Scanning: Application to p53 Oligomerization"

I'm not going to pretend that I understand the paper, but at least I noticed that.

Also, none of the links work in the section about Parkinson's Disease in the Disease Research FAQ. See http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-Diseases#ntoc13
I'm not sure what the links ought to go to, but perhaps the page has been moved so they can be relinked again. And shouldn't "AD" be changed to "PD" in "presented recent FAH work on AD"?

EDIT: Found a typo in the first sentence of the summary of paper 30. See http://folding.stanford.edu/English/Papers#ntoc66
Change "that" to "than" in "less attention that more common protein "folds.""

Fixed 39 and 30. Not all links to 3rd parties can be supported indifinitely. It's lucky any of the early links still work after 10 years, which is 1000 years in internet time.

Thanks for fixing those. Deadlinks are certainly understandable, and happen all the time especially for deep linking. If you Google those URLs I'm sure you'll find some other alternative site, or you could remove the links completely. Deadlinks from the website just don't speak all that well for F@h IMO. Plus I would have really liked to have followed those likes to learn more about the disease. Finally, there is no "figure on the right" so at least that should be removed if the picture can't be put back.

Oh, and I just noticed that there's information about the screensaver client on the Main FAQ. See http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-main
I suggest removing all screensaver-related material, unless there is a reason to keep it for historical reasons.

That's why it's at the very end of that FAQ. I suppose a note about the SS client being deprecated more than 3 years ago could be added. Hasn't been a high priority to remove it...

Something like that. Well, its first mention is here: http://folding.stanford.edu/English/FAQ-main#ntoc17 which is about a third of the way down the page. Plus its mentioned 25 times on the page, and if I didn't know better I'd have the impression that it was an active client. You'd have to include that note many times to try to cancel it out, so it may be better to just remove it entirely and replace what its trying to say with statements applicable to the v6 clients.
