    v11 v12  
    11= Team discussion =
     2
     3== Consistency of team names between projects ==
     4
     5It would be nice if teams were actually BOINC-wide.
     6How do we deal with the situation where the same team name exists
     7on different projects with different owners?
     8
     9 * Should teams be BOINC-wide rather than project specific?
     10 * If so, how to resolve current inconsistencies?
     11 * Should people be able to belong to different teams on different projects?
     12
     13Proposal:
     14 * Create a web site for registering BOINC-wide teams.  (Can use the "dev" project for this).
     15 * In case of dispute over a name, the oldest instance of the team on an existing project wins.
     16 * Write an "export" script to export the list of teams and founders as XML.  Include "previous founder" field.
     17 * Write an "update" script that downloads these files.  For each team: if it doesn't exist, create it, and create user account.  If  founder in DB is previous founder in XML, change founder.  Update other team fields (URL etc.).
     18 * Encourage newly-created projects to use the update script (e.g. put in config.xml).
     19 * Resolve current inconsistencies manually; I will encourage project admins to help.

    57  * Export this team list (in XML) as part of the BOINC distribution.  Newly-created projects will be prepopulated with these users/teams.
    58  * Resolve current inconsistencies manually; I will encourage project admins to help.
