Project revival
After a few weeks of reflection, I decided to continue hosting the project.

In the next weeks, I will work on simplifying and documenting the data processing.
Once this job done, I will contact volunteers to help me in managing the project.
In the future, if I decided to stop the project, transfering it to another hosting will be more simple.

The project will be active intermittently for linux, windows and mac platforms. No hours will be granted for the moment.

In parallel, I published source code here. I'm not a developper. So no doubt that the code should be improved. I would appreciate help to improve code and make it running for android devices.

Thanks for your patience.

SSL support
I installed a SSL certificate on server. Most of hosts can attach via the secure url: https://wuprop.boinc-af.org/.
If you use an old version (before 7.2) or an old OS, I recommend you use old URL: http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/

Disk space requirements / GPU data
In the result page, I added the disk space requirements and gpu data.
BOINC doesn't identify correctly some GPU (mostly ATI). Please, have a look at the page http://wuprop.boinc-af.org/gpu.py.
If needed, please, could you correct or complete the informations.
