Prefer Simap, though will go with the vote if different

......... What are we trying to do here - gain world ranking places?
My GPUs will be busy, but I'd take part using my CPUs on a team push - but why these particular projects and how will be we able to tell if it has been a success or not?

Just a bit of team building more than anything. Discussion was here http://forum.ukboincteam.com/viewtopic.php?t=4895.

No target set yet. We'll decide that once a project has been selected. Could be to see how many credits we can get or push for climbing World/UK position or even kudos for the most credits. We used to do these every month or so when we were a much smaller team but they got forgotten about!

Anyway, 7 votes so far and it seems to be a race between SIMAP and the new option Malaria Control.

12 votes cast and the winner is SIMAP. Now just gotta decide what to do with it!

SIMAP it is then. Now we need to decide how long the Team Crunch goes on for. Also how we're going to table the runners and riders to show who's in the lead etc.
