Who are they?
Maybe they deceive people?

No. They are quite a legitimate distributed computing project, not using BOINC but their own Java based structure ( Nereus ). It's based in Western Australia doing radio astronomy with synthetic aperture arrays. So synthetic in fact that the array only 'appears' when computers are used to correlate signals from their receiver set. I have an account with them and have been processing for them for a while. I reckon it's a cool project ... :-}
Cheers, Mike.
( edit ) If you help them now, you will be placed on their 'protected' list for when John Connor's resistance group is finally defeated ....
( edit ) In very many ways you could think of it as a prototype for the Square Kilometer Array.

TheSkyNet set to conquer more of our Universe

We have some news for you all today – theSkyNet is expanding into new territory, and taking on some new data processing.
An all official-like media release on the topic is sitting over on the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research’s site here. Go check it out, we’ll wait.
In a nutshell, this means that theSkyNet members now get the chance to help us process data from radio telescopes, simulated data to help telescopes run better and now data from optical telescopes.
Perhaps more excitingly for everyone though is the news that this new processing will be done using an all-new theSkyNet platform on BOINC. Yes, we’ve heard you loud and clear!
This doesn’t mean we’re getting rid of Nereus (the way theSkyNet is currently set up) – You’ll still be able to donate computing power through your browser to process radio data and help with the effort towards the SKA. However, those of you ‘power’ users out there will now have the opportunity to use BOINC to do some processing as well.
We’re ironing out details, and we wont have everything ready for you tomorrow, but the lovely ICT guys here tell us that within six months you’ll have two options on how to add to theSkyNet.
Discussion and comments more than welcome – we’ve already kicked it off on the forums.

Great news, looking forward to more announcements because we need SETI style project that has a team of Scientists actively monitoring the data for possible signals.
