Hello!

BOINC project ODLK2025 has been running for 4.5 months without any failures.
The project has launched three Applications for Windows and Linux.

The project has been accepted for participation in the Formula Boinc Marathon

https://www.formula-boinc.org/marathons.py?standing=team&division=1&race=3&project=31

I am asking again to include the project in the official list of BOINC projects.

I suspect so but never having been involved with a new project and getting one listed I don't really know.

This thread is not the first discussion about getting ODLK2025 added to the official list of BOINC Projects.
The request was denied before.

Hello,

Thank you for your request.
I have reviewed your project.
I don't run this project, and I don't really care what application itself is doing, so everything below is only about the user experience.

BOINC project ODLK2025 has been running for 4.5 months without any failures.

I see at least these issues that were never reported to be fixed:
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=16
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=23
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=31
https://boinc.mak.termit.me/odlk2025/forum_thread.php?id=32
Please confirm these are fixed.

Also, as far as I see, none of the our recommendations were implemented (e.g. the information on the landing page is still insufficient and doesn't clearly describes the goal of the project, and this was not fixed since I have mentioned this the first time).

Assuming all this, I cannot recommend this project to be added to the official projects list.
Please review my reply, report on your forum the issues are fixed, and in 4-6 months we will review your request again.

Thank you for understanding.

P.S.
By the way, the question that I have for a while (doesn't really important, but just curious).
The project is called ODLK because of the transliteration (instead of translation) of ODLS from Russian to English.
But according to the description of the project and its applications, Latin Squares are not researched here.
Again, this is just our of the curiosity, but why the project was created with this name in the first place?

P.P.S.
I know that you will write a post about me on one of your other projects.
I don't care, but when you do that - please check how my surname is spelled correctly in Russian as Кошура.

Best regards,
Vitalii Koshura

There will be no third request.
This is a blatant discrimination of the project!

By the way, I sent a request to David Anderson yesterday.
No response received.

I was inspired to send a second request by a user request

I wrote you before: we treat all the projects equally.

You ignored everything I wrote to you but demand some special attitude to your project.
What is more important - you ignore your community.
If you want anything from anybody - be ready for cooperation.
Currently I see none.
That is not in our interest to make any exception for your project.

No response received.

I'm aware about this, and I was asked to make a review, what I did in my previous post in this thread.

Ah, i remember this one- starts a new project each time instead of new applications for the existing project. Doesn't actually answer any questions. Apparently deletes posts on the project message boards that he doesn't like. And then starts abusing & belittling people here when he doesn't get his way.
Another one for the ignore list.
