I think it either you believe in the project or you are in just for profit. people contributed to BOINC because they believe in it without compensation. why should we change that?

I think that there should be some incentive to have more computational resources devoted to projects that are scientifically the most successful.
@ilikechocolate raises a good point that there is already an unofficial ranking of projects in that some are more lucrative than others (either due to special hardware requirements or popularity). Or purely due to popularity, some projects are more competitive than others, which is another type ranking.
I think there is a good argument to be made that we should rank projects on a variety of factors including the above but scientific/social impact as well.
I think we should change our whitelisting process. For me. if it pass the whitelisting they are all equal in value. just choose which suites you. money or the scientific goal.
so if a boinc project want to tap on the grc community they should up thier standard. so in this case. all projects that are whitelisted have thier merits. and thus all proejct are in eqaul value.
