There hadn't been any activity at all in the DAB on foldingforum since Dec 22nd, but this past week(while I lay at Death's Door with the FLU) there appears two recent threads.
rjbelans starts a thread in the DAB section that seeks to stimulate further discussion on the Folding pratices guidelines. No replies yet, perhaps discussion in the original thread was extensive enough.
Dr. Vijay Pande started a thread titled "v7 open beta release" which it seems is more about the proposed opening of the beta test section to the Public, than the actual v7 beta client itself.

We've been pounding on the v7 client and some new cores and related WS updates for the v7 open beta release. While we don't have to connect in other issues, such as changes to the beta team that we talked about, I think it may be a good idea to suggest all at once.
So, I think we've all had time to think about the proposed changes. I'm curious if there are any showstoppers to the beta plan we came up with, i.e. to start it closed, but open up individual threads as projects go past beta testing? We've discussed that we'll have to inform beta team members of the change ahead of time, i.e. before we start new project threads in the beta forum, and old threads (i.e. those started before the announcement) would remain closed.
I'm excited about the new functionality in the new cores and v7 and also the possibility of greatly extending the GPU and SMP parts of FAH, since v7+new SMP cores makes this a lot easier for newbies to run. I think this beta team change could help a lot too.
