Hello Cows 
MarcyDarcy requested that I start a new topic on the DC Web Ring that we (ExtremeDC) has started.
It is my belief that the Distributed Computing community needs to advertise more to attract new people to Distributed Computing. We went to RingSurf.com and created a Distributed Computing Web Ring and are asking eveyone with a Distributed Computing related site to join. Teams, stats, projects, help pages are all welcome. Two things I hope to accomplish with this Web Ring are:
1. To help promote Distributed Computing and increase exposure to the general public
2. Compile a listing of all Distributed Computing related sites in one location. These sites should include Teams, statistics, projects, and other DC related sites.
The closest we as a community have to this listing, is the site run by Kirk Pearson - Internet Based Distributed Computing http://www.aspenleaf.com/distributed/ Although an excellent site with many projects listed as well as listings of teams, it is not complete! With a Web Ring, each site can join and add the "Ring Link" to their main page increasing exposure to all related sites.
The Distributed Computing community is an elite group of people, providing a valuable resource to mankind. Although our numbers are large, it has taken many years to get here and the rate of "new DC'ers" joining our forces is very slow. With increased exposure, we as a community can grow at a much faster rate. This will benefit all DC Teams and projects a like!
To clarify one thing, ExtremeDC does not "own" this Ring! We will not benefit anymore then anyone else that joins this Ring, we simply created the Ring. By registering your site, you are promoting your Team, stats, or project!
As of right now, you can join from http://www.extremedc.com the Ring link in on the bottom left of the main page, Kirk Pearson's site http://www.aspenleaf.com/distributed/ , The ECCp-109 main page http://www.nd.edu/~cmonico/eccp109/ and also http://www.chessbrain.net/cbindex.html
Some people were complaining that the home page for the ring was directed to XDC. That was automatically done when the ring was setup. We have gone in and changed the html so that it will now direct to Aspenleaf. If anyone decides to join the ring, they may edit the html and direct it to link wherever they like.
Thanks and hopefully this will help promote DC
