Preferences: d/e/f/5f
lasieved
lasievee
lasievef
lasieve5f

Applications: 14e/15e/16e/16ev5
14e Lattice Sieve
15e Lattice Sieve
16e Lattice Sieve
16e Lattice Sieve V5

Badges: 14e/15e/16e/no v5 or 5f
14e credit
15e credit
16e credit

I think I worked out which corresponds to which, and why there are only three sub-project badges. But it's not very clear, is it? Particularly to folks who are new to BOINC and/or NFS. Can something please be done to make these all be called the same thing? I know changing the app names is a big deal. So, a couple of suggestions:

1) Can the preferences and badges names please be made to match the apps?

2) Can entry in the the user's home page for "16e credit" be changed to "lasievef & lasieve5f combined"? Or something like that?

I'm struggling through this myself, so I'd also like to see some resolution...

Already explained this on the SETI.USA team forum on the month of August.

Bump. At LEAST in the prefs page, beside the cryptic app name, put "16e" or SOMETHING! Every single time I want to change prefs, I have to search through the boards to remember which app is which "app".
