Maybe it should be mentioned that Apple actually offers the XGrid admin software as a free download? See http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/serveradmintools104.html

I'd like to see a list of software that can accept XGrid help. Is this documented in a form that Wikipedia can accept? Chrysrobyn (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

I tried downloading the serveradmintools but on my Leopard-based MacBook, they refused to install "for an unknown reason." ! 71.189.73.222 (talk) 02:13, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

GA Review
Transcluded from Talk:Xgrid/GA1

2nd GA review

 * Try to fix the article's prose by replacing "it" with a proper noun
 * Third paragraph of lead is still a run-on
 * several mistakes in fourth paragraph of lead (prose)
 * Last sentence of lead needs a comma to be a compound sentence. Better prose is needed.
 * First sentence in history section is still a run-on. Needs a colon before you list the features.
 * Several prose issues on my first GA review have not been addressed. (i.e. run-on sentences/prose issues).

Unfortunately, I cannot give another GA review before the due date. However, you are welcome to leave notes on my talk page for any questions.  miranda   14:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Due to these problems not being addressed, I have decided to fail the article. I suggest you to have a peer review, and take consideration to the previous suggestions.  miranda   05:26, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Due to problems bigger than Wikipedia I have not been around. I'll nominate again soon. BTW, I was going to take in your considerations, I just haven't been online. —Atyndall &#91;citation needed&#93; 08:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Infobox
The info box currently says "Platform: Independent" but there is no evidence that this runs on anything other than MacOS X 10.4 and up. Even if it runs on other Apple equipment, should this really be listed as "Independent"? If this actually runs on any platform, perhaps more non-Mac info could be added to the article. 68.36.75.26 (talk) 10:02, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, the "Website" link goes to a different place than the text of the link. Which is the desired page? 68.36.75.26 (talk) 10:07, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * The platform section refers to the hardware architecture the software runs under (it can also mean the operating system, but as you can see in the infobox it says "OS: Mac OS X") which, because it is software that will run wherever OS X is present, is independent. The website link has now been fixed. Happy editing and thanks for reporting those problems. — ^.^ &#91;citation needed&#93; 11:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Image rationales
I think the fair use rationales for both the Zilla and Xgrid Icon could be more verbose. The ones that exist are pretty terse, and others I've encountered recently had substantially more reasoning embedded into them. Jclemens (talk) 21:17, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Information on projects using Xgrid?
I've looked around the web and can't find a list of applications that use Xgrid. Seemingly there are about 2 publicly available programs. I came to Wikipedia because this is the kind of thing that often has a "List of Xgrid Applications". Is there such a list on or off Wikipedia? Chrysrobyn (talk) 21:13, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I can say with a fair amount of accuracy that such a list does not exist on Wikipedia. Because we have policies and guidelines concerning verifibility and reliable sources and there appears to be no reliable sources with lists of Xgrids, such an article could probably not be made. Although, there may be such a list somewhere else on the internet, try googling 'list of xgrids' and 'xgrid clusters' and you might find some useful results. Sorry I couldn't help any further.

 * It's a little confusing to have monitors represent the agents in the diagram. They don't need monitors -- they're computers.  No image of a computer is even included, just stylized monitors.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.132.79.170 (talk) 15:06, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
