I'd like to see an addition to the system status web page - add the number of workunits waiting to be sent out. If appropriate, a note saying that workunits are generated when users are ready to receive them would also be reasonable.

I thought that is what this meant "Results ready to send 8,102".

I'd not call them results until the workunits have been run and returned.

Calling them workunits until then would be more appropriate.

It depends on your perspective. In the BOINC world a workunit is a collection of data files, result files and executables. The results are sent out to be processed and returned. The workunit is finished when enough results are returned and verified.

Due to the confusion this can cause BOINC is moving to calling both workunits and results "tasks".
