Travis, is there any reason you can't just automatically link / create accounts for users who had data at the 3 other projects?

I think it would be a fairly simple case of linking via the cpid in the databases and I see it no different as to the creation of founders when a boinc team wide import is done.

I ask, because I'm about to deprecate the older projects at Free-DC but this will cause users to lose credits who have not yet linked the accounts.

Perhaps the onus is on them though.

If you are somehow missing the data to be able to do this automatically I can probably provide it from my database.

Thanks

Half of my team that has credits with one of the three projects has not yet linked them.... and probably will not until it's too late.
We will loose team standings on all 3 of these projects unless this is done by cpid automatically.
.... and they will all snivel & whine loudly.
We all depend on DC's listings to guide us in decisions like voting on PotM.

Perhaps a group e-mail can be sent out to those users that have not created a Citizen Science Grid account yet and linked their other project accounts to it, advising them what to do.

The projects were down for awhile and a lot of people probably have not checked back to see what is happening.

If it is easier to just do what Bok has suggested and create the Citizen Science Grid account for them, as in Boinc Wide Teams, an e-mail should still be sent out advising about the new account and what they should do to link their accounts together.

Just a couple of thoughts on the matter.

Passwords should be fine, when the founders are created from the team wide import, we always have to use the feature to reset the password anyway.

As for multiple email addresses, I would hazard a guess that very few users would have different email addresses across those 3 projects. But just treat them as separate accounts here I would say and deal with it later.
