If Google Compute ever comes back, this is the feature that I would
like to see the most: tight integration with Google Calender.
Example: Let users add a schedule on Google Calender for when Google
Compute runs and for which projects it runs. Ideally, a user would
have the capability to schedule Google Compute to work for an AIDS
project on every monday, and a Cancer project on every Tuesday, etc.
They would even be able to schedule down to the hour (not just days).
They would be able to make their Google Compute schedule as customized
as necessary for their needs all through Google Calender. Of course,
Google Compute has to make a return first. It was sad to see it go...

Good idea, but that's really what the folks at Stanford are already
doing. They're doing their own scheduling and evenly distributing the
projects among contributors themselves.

Letting the contributors decide would unbalance the workload; they
would always choose "popular" projects like cancer or AIDS, which you
mentioned.

Maybe a Calendar integration for just specifying whether or not the
client could run would be cool, for example only between 12AM and 8AM
or something.

The idea of running certain projects on certain days is a nice one, but
switching projects everyday would cause each project to come back
unfinished.

I use folding at home and i have a project thats is going to take at
least 5 days non stop computing (it has 2 left). If i switched
projects every day the current project could take weeks to finsh. If
the proejects were made even smaller though then this would be
possible. (some of them take about 24 hours of nonstop computing) The
general idea is to have a project completed in about 1 week.
