I've been working on a Facebook application which when signed up for will make a wall post for any of the BOINC milestones you pass. This is not just Rosetta specific but for any of the projects for your CPID

If anyone is interested and has a facebook page, then please feel free to try it out here

Milestones are all based on the ones I generated at Free-DC stats and these can be updated to add new ones on request easily enough, though I think they are fairly comprehensive.

I have 28 people using it so far nd in the past 2 weeks or so it's been working well.

In the next few days we hope to get the initial page fixed up somewhat but it's fairly simple to follow I think as is.

Basically, you accept the application (standard facebook) then follow the instructions on the page itself, by entering your CPID and then going to the link to allow the app permission to post to your stream - if you've done it all correctly you'll actually see your recent milestones on that page anyway.

From then on, any day that you pass a milestone in Rosetta or any BOINC project for that CPID it will post it to your wall, also for combined milestones too.

I'm 90% through coding of posting your team milestones as well, though may make that optional.

It has been fairly interesting writing this app and I see many future possibilities for it also, though many of them will require the co-operation of the various BOINC projects and possible extensions added into the BOINC framework code..

For instance, posting when you get the lowest energy in a Rosetta molecule, or when you reach a new badge level in World Community Grid..

Hi Bok

Good to see you here as well.

I've followed the instructions to the tee and everything seemed OK except I now do not see any info on my wall or boxes.

Could it be that I have not passed a milestone since enabling the app?

yep. that's it. I can 'fake' one for you if you'd like to see what it looks like :)

How about your 100 in Collatz from a few weeks ago.. Let me make it today temporarily...

Done, you should see a post on your wall.. might need to refresh as I find your own posts take longer to show up than others..

Thanks - that's great (nice and prominent).

You're a real wizard. The work done over at PrimeGrid (I imagine with raw data from Rytis) is also much appreciated.

Nice work on that facebook App Bok! Just started using it!

I added your app yesterday. Soon as they fix the validator I expect to see a big jump in my milestones.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Rosetta is currently granting 0 credits. I may never see a milestone get posted.

What are the milestone triggers? My last posting was triggered at 100,000.

---

Another 100,000 for Rosetta, or another 100,000 for all you combined project credit. I've had it only post for those two for me.

---

I just ran over 3,000,000 credits this month, will it be forever before I hit another milestone to trigger it to show on facebook?
