Hello Timbo,

given the recent server crash at Gerasim and the negative credits for everyone on this project, how will you handle that?

I remember that the former FB-rules stated that a project was only counted in the final stats when it had given out at least 2M credits over the year.

Well, Gerasim has negative credits (and won't probably recover because of a backup problem) [and Universe is down since the passing of its project admin].

However, we've had three Sprints on Gerasim and those stats are fixed and saved. So I'd suggest taking this project only out of the Marathon stats.
What do you and the others think?

Thanks for the message.

And yes I had noticed in the last day or two, that my own Gerasim credits had dropped significantly, but as I do not read Russian, (as their forum is in this language) so I assumed it was a failure and that maybe a backup was being re-installed.

I think that for now, the Gerasim stats on the FB Marathon League table will be badly affected by the loss of Team and Member credits. But the FB points awarded for the Sprints should not be affected.

Hopefully the Gerasim admins will put this right?

Yes, I think we should not be considering Gerasim as a Sprint project for now. They need to restore their systems and they do not need a high demand for tasks (in a Sprint) to be disrupting their maintenance of their project.

Which is a shame as their project has been pretty stable for a while now.

Tim
