Talk:BOINC client–server technology

BitTorrent

BOINC client still doesn't have a single bit of BitTorrent code on it. There is some work being done on the server side (tracker) but it's still not even half-working. Removing whole "Technological innovation" section. 201.212.126.164 18:53, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Server workings

I added quite a bit of info about how the server works, and the daemons that make up the system. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for Wikipedia, or if it needs more work. 200.127.223.79 (talk) 17:38, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Server weaknesses

It seems the only real weakness listed is 'does only run on unices'. In my opinion, that's hardly worth noting as a weakness, at least not in two of the four points Rkarlsba (talk) 17:02, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

BOINC client–server technology → BOINC client-server technology – please remove the unicode dash from the name – James Michael DuPont (talk) 12:03, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

• I contest this, I think the dash is required per MOS:DASH. I have also reverted your move BOINC client/server technology. Jenks24 (talk) 12:13, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

@Mdupont and Jenks24: This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:14, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

@Anthony Appleyard: Again, the ping notification function does not work when you use it like that. Jenks24 (talk) 10:30, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose – the fact that Client–server model uses a dash seems like evidence that this is the appropriate usage. (There is already a redirect at BOINC client-server technology.) —BarrelProof (talk) 01:58, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

A few questions about things in "Client platforms"

It's not "Raspbian" that have very few client apps available, it's ANY LINUX RUNNING ON ARM PLATFORMS EXCEPT ANDROID (for example raspbian, armbian, ubuntu mate, etc.).

But I simply don't know how to describe it... maybe just like this will be good enough?

Operating system	Hardware	Examples	Status
Linux	ARM	Raspberry Pi	Very few client applications available
