Simple attach usage
During the evolution of BOINC there have been three ways for users to get started (i.e. create a project account, install BOINC, and attach to the account):
-
Ancient attach: you download the client installer from the BOINC web site. You run it, and use the Attach Project dialog to specify a project (by typing its URL) and create a project with email/password.
-
Old attach: like Ancient, but you choose the project from a menu.
-
Simple Attach: you create an account using a form on the project website and download the installer from the project website. When the client runs, it's pre-attached to the account.
Simple Attach has the advantages that:
- It's simpler (fewer clicks).
- The UI is in the web, not the Manager. Projects can customize the UI.
To use Simple Attach, a project must:
- Upgrade their server software (just the web software, if they want).
- Make a minor modification to the home page (index.php). Namely: make a Join button that links to signup.php.
If you have any problems, post to the boinc_projects email list or contact David Anderson.
