Hi, I would to ask if someone knows how to add projects to BOINC that are not on the list, like Orbit@home, uFluids, and someone other I have seen on Internet.

I have seen something of prompt in some webs, but I don't know how to do that on BOINC.

Thanks!
BOINC 7.0.64 x86

You don't.

You can add projects that aren't on the official list by using the projects URL, usually shown on the their home page, instead of selecting one from the list

As for Orbit they used to be active and then shut down. They are supposedly coming back "in the fall" according to their web site.

Rather than selecting one of the listed projects, you just paste the project's url in, it's normally mentioned on their front page, if not, then it's normally the url of that front page.

Thanks for the mention of Orbit@home, that project has been dead for some while, seems they are coming back up soon.
