Those of you said you would like to help with the ProCooling Distributed Computing team we need to decide on a project.

If you look here you'll find a list of distributed computing projects:
http://www.aspenleaf.com/distributed...-projects.html

The main restrictions on any of the projects that would choose would be that the project has to be relatively new. If we start with something like Folding@home or SETI@home we'll be years behind and there won't be any fun competition

Also, the project has to be pretty agreeable with for everyone's thinking and dare I say beliefs.
I like the idea of Evolution@home but I'm sure there are a few people who disagree.. so it has to be something benign. Probably something that has to with protein folding would be best because I don't think many people have a problem with finding a cure for cancer or alzheimers.
Distributed Folding looks very promisiing or something along those lines.
So umm... give some input on to what project you guys think should be run.
Thanks
