For all those who're interested...I'm about to share pics from my Excel, which quite accurately gets Estimated Completion Dates (ECD) for all current projects...so some people can hunt badges, if the want to keep this game interesting...so, for some it's a game we play, to keep us interested here in this "adult world of crunching"!
---------------------------------------- So, here're some ECD for current projects:  Right now I'm in hunt for badges on 1st 4 projects on the list...how about you? Tells us...comment... |

Shouldn't this topic be moved to the Chat Room. It has nothing to do with the Website.

YesFor all those who're interested...I'm about to share pics from my Excel, which quite accurately gets Estimated Completion Dates (ECD) for all current projects...so some people can hunt badges, if the want to keep this game interesting...so, for some it's a game we play, to keep us interested here in this "adult world of crunching"! The advantage of that spreadsheet is if the % changes (up or down) you have an fast way to see the ECD. I did that sometime in the past (with a lot more detail), but figured out that I giving WAY too much attention to the invested effort and the dates. It was hard, but I had to disengage myself from the specifics and enjoy the results.... so is it ECD or OCD ?  .CJSL World Community Grid: the final frontier. These are the adventures of the grid WCG. Its never-ending mission: to explore strange new methods, to seek out new cures and new solutions, to boldly crunch where no man has crunched before. |

?Isn't this something that sekerob already does? Mention him ECD & make sure you got helmet ON!  Don't get me wrong...he's doing a great job for WCG...but his charts only gives total amount of FINISHED job, not in any way future estimates! The idea is to make a topic about ECD (even though only 1 exists & it's Sgt.Joe's about MCM)...so you can plan in months: - so have 9m to ECD, but can get another step of Diamond badge in 7m time...so I can run that project exclusively for next 7m! - the project ends in 1y, but I need 18m to finish it...so either I invest in more cores to get to next step or switch to other projects here on WCG! I'd be great if WCG decided to put ECD on ALL projects...but their policy is 6m in advance...& sometimes when you hunt 20y, 50y, 100y or 200y Diamond badge - you need a prolonged estimate than 6m! |

Just your first chart has already been useful to me.
----------------------------------------After concentrating on UGM for so long I had no clue that Zika was such a short project. So much so that I should be doing that one next. So thanks for this KLiK. You have done what I feel WCG as a whole should do officially  |

The used percentages come directly from the Research page, where an End month will show if WCG anticipates (by working of their algorithm) if 6 months or less are left. They will NOT publish anything longer out, with too many variables going into the equation [Help has an FAQ for this topic, for those who wish to read up, plus jhindo I think made 1 or more posts expanding on the matter. Search and thou shalleth find]

So thanks for this KLiK. You have done what I feel WCG as a whole should do officially thanks...that's the main point of using that data, for us who do a "long term goals"!  will continue to make updates every 2 weeks...hopefully WCG might change their decision to make ECD public...suggestion has been made to put long ECDs in brackets, so that they are only "ordinance" & not sure...
