The SETI project as currently constructed is being absorbed into a new distributed client called BOINC. BOINC clients will be able to run more than one distrubuted project at a time, and most expect that SETI users will migrate over to BOINC eventually.

We are hoping to pick up a few new F@H users from among the ranks of former (and current) SETI seekers.

SETI, much like the Genome@Home project that I started on years ago, is freezing the lists of contributors and basically starting the point totals over on BOINC.

Folding@Home may once day run under BOINC but the network is not stable enough for them to bless it.

Or maybe the various professors don't want to support another university's research. It's all about grant money.
