A new computing project called Einstein@Home has been launched which will let sanyone with a PC to contribute to cutting edge astrophysics research. The program searches data from the US Laser Interferometer Gravitational wave Observatory (LIGO) and the British/German GEO-600 gravitational wave observatory for signals coming from very dense, rapidly rotating compact quark and neutron stars.

There was a _lot_ or arguing over how this should work during BOINC development. I _think_ they settled on only giving the team credit for credit you did while you were with the team. Also if you later leave the team your credit stays with the team.
Guess we'll see if we get credit for work after the team was created...
Cheers,
