For over a year, we have been working with David Anderson's group at Berkeley to develop a FAH client for BOINC. We have been analyzing whether it would be an appropriate platform to add, as an additional client for Folding@Home (much like Google Compute is an additional client), considering the many complex aspects of a FAH/BOINC port.

After much planning, developing, and testing, we are now at the point where we will soon start a public beta. There will be more news soon. For now, we wanted to simply make an announcement of the existence of the FAH/BOINC client. A more open beta test will be forthcoming in the next days to weeks.

Finally, I want to make it completely clear that the FAH/BOINC client is an additional client for FAH, and thus FAH is not "switching" to BOINC. The development of the FAH client will continue as our main client, and we will port features to BOINC as appropriate.

Our goal is to make it as easy as possible to contribute to FAH, and with an even larger group of donors, we would be able to tackle even more complex and challenging problems -- which is the reason for FAH in the first place.

大概意思是说：

在过去的一年里我们为开发适合在BOINC上运行的FAH版本做了大量的工作，我们分析认为，对于一个适当的分布式计算平台，例如BOINC，她将成为我们工作的类似于Google的一个支持者。但是开发适合在BOINC平台运行的FAH有许多复杂之处。

在经过我们的详细计划、精心设计和周密测试之后，我们很快的就开始了一个用于公众测试的站点。相信马上就会有相关的新闻大量的出现了。目前，我们只是想简单的告诉志愿者们已经有 FAH client for BOINC 存在了。更多的测试版本将在将来几天或几周内陆续发布。

最后，我想说，FAH client for BOINC 将作为本项目的一个新的客户端发布，并且当前的 FAH 客户端不会转向 BOINC，我们将继续升级原有的客户端，并将其作为我们主要的客户端，同时，我们将新开服务器端口用以适应新的客户端“FAH client for BOINC”。

我们的目标是尽最大的可能使 FAH 项目能够真正的造福于全人类，我们在吸引更多的募捐以便我们能够应付一些未知的困难——这是本项目应该首要考虑的问题。
