A Work Unit (WU) is the task that Stanford has sent to your computer to be worked one. A WU is a small portion of a much larger project, each of these projects are assigned a 4 digit number.

The WUs of each project are assigned a point value, depending on how much time Stanford estimates they will require. Each time you finish a WU, you and your team are awarded the points.

The numbers you refer to are are the "steps" required to complete the WU. Your computer has completed 8625 out of 12500 required steps. That WU is 69% complete.
(8625 / 12500 = 0.69)

Hey, thanks! I guess it completed it, because now it says "0/10000".

So, now that a WU has been completed.....how do I know 'which' WU it is? (I take it, once I know that, then I look it up on the lists that appear on these threads?

(sorry if this is sounding dense....apologies :)
