It's a good idea if I see we're on the same page on the HTML before you have to send me a load of them.

I'll send to one sometime today (later). I'll be doing the main page and the reservation page on all.

Sounds like a plan, guys. Just one quick question though: for bases originally with a CK <=200 that have already been searched to n=25K or so (for example, the various bases with 1 k remaining), whose "half" of the project do those fit within? That is, do I need to send results for those to Ian or Gary? (I know, it would probably be best to copy both in for all but I figured I should check anyway.)

Anything that is ALREADY on the pages belongs to Gary. I'm not updating any pages, just submitting new ones to be added. I don't need any files on those being moved along.

Ah, that makes sense--thanks.

I'm not doing the base I'm doing the HTML's for the conjecture pages. Those were the bases turned in I'm starting with.

10metreh,

Upon your entry into the new bases of the project, you've caught us in a bit of an administrative transition phase. Don't worry, Ian is not taking anyone's reserved work or duplicating other's work. He will just be taking care of part of the behind-the-scenes administrative work when people report statuses on small-conjectured new bases related to HTML creation and various thread updates.

To clarify for everyone, Ian will only be administering the bases that have both of the following conditions:
1. Have a conjectured k (CK) of <= 200.
2. Are not already shown on the pages.

As for #2, if they are not already shown on the pages, we refer to them as "new" bases.

It is the above types of bases that are completed by people the most quickly because many are easily proven. Because of that, they can be reported in such large quantities at times that I could not keep up with them. Therefore, I previously had to severly restrict their reporting. Now there is no restriction on them.

The only restriction now is on "new" bases with a CK of > 200 at 2 per person per day.

It is my/our hope that this will eventually allow about 60-70% of all bases <= 1024 to be tested and shown on the pages in a more resonable timeframe and with less posting by everyone as well as allow the admins to keep their heads above water on everything.

I wasn't aware of this. Now I can submit 200 bases at once.


OK, just kidding. Did I miss a post on this change in policy?

Actually, no you aren't kidding.

Yes, you can submit 200 bases at once BUT they all have to have a CK <= 200. They also need to be split up into the appropriate base 100-250, 251-500 and 501-1024 threads. So if you wanna submit a bunch at once, ya gotta do a little bit of work to do so. :-)

To take it a step further, we want people to go ahead and innundate us with new bases with a CK <= 200 immediately so that others don't duplicate the work in the meantime. Ian will manage the load and will coordinate with me on slowly reducing the backlog. The managing of a large backlog is something that I felt I could not do on my own.

We are asking that a minimum of detail be shown in the posts. One base per line showing the base, CK, search limit, and # of k's remaining (or that it is proven). The detail can be in an attached file. To save yourself and us time, we don't need GFNs or trivial k's. Just primes and k's remaining if applicable are all that is needed in the attached file (or Emailed to us).

As everyone here has noticed, I have taken a break from the project (except for managing S63). I have submitted many results that you had rejected before this recent change in how the project is managed. I don't know the status of those.
