Another small step taken.
For now, all I can reveal is that the project will have a lot to do with astrophotography :)

If you Google Astrophotography and Science there are a mix of interesting articles from several aspects.

Probably with a reduction in new credit?

With nothing really announced why do you suggest a reduction in new credit ...
I know the same "nothing" that you know .. So should I say with double the new credit ?

Or they could just payout Credit in accordance with the definition of a Cobblestone.

A BOINC project gives you credit for the computations your computers perform for it. BOINC's unit of credit, the Cobblestone (named after Jeff Cobb of SETI@home), is 1/200 day of CPU time on a reference computer that does 1,000 MFLOPS based on the Whetstone benchmark.
GigaFLOPs = RAC/200
TeraFLOPS = RAC/200,000
(Remember that a 1 GigaFLOP machine, running full time, produces 200 units of credit in 1 day).
1 GFLOP * 86,400sec = 200 Cobblestones.

Grant ... I prefer your way of thinking.
