The proposal is for both web-based and GUI (Manager) prefs.
The goal is to make them look the same.

I agree with Jacob's proposal, it's clear cut and to the point explicitly
specifying what the user wants. It seems that these are for the global
preferences, which would preclude having offsetting/overriding preferences
in the GUI.
I do however have 3 questions, neither of which are show stoppers, but for
my clarification:
1) Since Jacob's proposal seems to be global in nature, if it is placed into
production do we really need the computing Preferences tab in the manager?
The only existing tab under the current Computing Preferences tab that is
not included in Jacob's proposal is the Exclusive Applications tab. Maybe
the Computing Preferences tab can then be reduced to just include the
exclusive applications?
Memory and Disk -
Memory usage limits -
2) Memory usages limits (Use at most X% of page/swap file
[required] - Is zero (0) allowed? There are some of us that are not using
the page/swap file.
Other -
3) Request tasks to checkpoint at most every X seconds -
What is the current default, if any?

Subject: [boinc_alpha] preferences wording
Currently, computing preferences are expressed differently in the GUI than
on the web, leading to user confusion.
We'd like to express them the same way in both places.
A proposal for doing this is here:

If you have time, please review the proposal and comment (either to me
individually, or to the email list).
