Doesn't the "Learn about Team AnandTech" article need an update ?

I was reading a bit on Anandtech, and I saw our article as a Featured Article. I browsed through it and it struck me it was already showing its age.

We're asking for help to stay on the #1 spot in RC5, but the DPC have already passed us almost half a year ago; the Gamma Flux project can be expunged, since Distributed Science went Chapter 11; in S@H, we're not on the 15th spot, but on the 9th, and in general, there is a plethora of new interesting project going on (UD, ECCp, Capacity Calibration, Genome&Folding@home, etc).

Since the RC5 link is omitted now on Anands front page, perhaps it's time to think about a new article first before we ask him to put the link back up ? An updated and more extensive article could mean some new members who are needful in all projects we participate in.

Perhaps we could write an introduction detailing what has happened over the past 6 months in the different contests and what projects have ended/started, a step by step guide on how to join a project of your choice (a stripped down version of the FAQ's ?) and some more background information about the projects ?

Hey, don't mind me, I'm just brainstorming ;) But I do think we need something new...

Thanks :)
Reading the S@H article again now.........

Parts that need updating:-
The data on these tapes are broken up into smaller chunks which are in turn sent out to over two million participants
Now over 3 million!

and is currently in 15th place among all SETI club teams
Now 9th place ,& very close to 8th if we can keep outproducing SETI@Netherlands

having donated nearly 400 years worth of CPU time
Over 1000 years now!:Q

So, put your Thunderbird, Pentium 3, or even your lowly Cyrix to work
Pentium 4 should be added :) ,also since v3.03 was enforced I think mentioning that your 'Cyrix' could do SETI should be quitely dropped!;).They're much better off doing RC5 ,if the user is happy to do that.
